VENDORiQ: Zoom Acquires Workvivo

Zoom’s acquisition of Workvivo is expected to improve its UX capabilities. What does this imply for the online communications industry?

The Latest

27 June 2023: Zoom announced its plans to acquire Ireland-based Workvivo, an employee communication platform vendor that offers personalised activity feeds that let internal teams read and post content with media.

Why It’s Important

The acquisition implies that Zoom can expand its platform and offer enterprise users new ways to keep employees informed, engaged, and connected by leveraging Workvivo’s communication and engagement tools, social intranet, and employee app. Employee engagement has become more essential, especially as hybrid work has become more common in organisations.

IBRS believes that more communication tools will be merged into a single more robust platform as the trend of acquisitions in the industry continues with the likes of Zoom buying Solvvy, Liminal and kites prior to Workvivo.
