Skillsoft, the global leader in corporate learning, today announced that its intelligent learning platform, Percipio, surpassed 1,000 customers in its first year. Launched in May 2017, Percipio’s intuitive, highly visual and personalised design engages multi-generational learners with experiences consumers have come to expect from brands like Google, Amazon and Netflix.
In the process of pioneering a new category called Learning Experience Platforms, Skillsoft used Agile development and input from numerous global brands to consistently deliver innovation that has been embraced by customers in all industries and all regions of the world. Key updates to Percipio since the launch include:
- Personalisation drives usage, engagement and accelerates learning by offering more control over the content and user experience. Percipio provides recommendations to each learner based on their interests, which appear on their homepage and are formatted for easy content discovery and one-click access.
- Opening the platform enables content aggregation functionality, which allows all types of content to be delivered across the organisation, including custom, third-party and Skillsoft’s award-winning, multi-modal content and creating custom channels.
- Customising the platform with a company’s branding, including logo, colours and imagery enable organisations to deliver a more relevant and shared experience for their learners.
- Percipio ELSA (Embedded Learning Synchronised Assistant) provides just-in-time, contextual learning by allowing users to easily access and consume content from Percipio directly in their natural workflow via a browser plug-in.
- Percipio Implementation and Customer Channel Curation Services help customers deliver value more quickly when launching their Percipio site. Implementation Services accelerate the deployment of Percipio for organisations. Percipio Custom Channel Curation Services allows organisations to create customised content channels that are both tailored to engage their learners and aligned with key business objectives.
- Percipio Compliance adds compliance courseware and assessments, complex completion rules, real-time tracking, and customisation and localisation into 40 languages. Centralising an organisation’s entire learning program on one platform allows learners to use Percipio to take required compliance training as well as benefit from Skillsoft’s, company-owned and third-party content to build critical skills and competencies.

We’re most pleased by what our customers have achieved with the platform – accelerating learning to drive bigger and better business outcomes,” said Chad Gaydos, Chief Operating Officer of the Skillsoft Group. “Customers appreciate Percipio’s powerful reporting and value analysis. More importantly, learners love its rich, intuitive design – they are enjoying spending more time doing more multimodal learning.

“Special Olympics wanted to enhance its leadership development program with a more modern and robust learning solution that is standardised and accessible across all countries. We chose Percipio to supplement and complement the content used by our Leadership Academy for its ability to provide continuous, comprehensive and mobile leadership development support following a face-to-face event. The platform’s consumer-led experience empowers employees and athlete leaders–those with and without an intellectual disability–to participate in self-directed learning, said Olga Yakimakho, Director of Leadership and Organisational Development, Special Olympics.”
“Launched a year ago with 500 multi-modal channels stocked with Skillsoft eLearning content, Percipio, after several updates, now accommodates personalisation, customisation, and external- and company-specific content, allows learners to practice, and helps learners find relevant content while in the flow of work,” said Charles M. DeNault, Senior Analyst, Wainhouse Research. “Percipio is clearly resonating with customers, so we have placed Percipio in a leadership position in our recent Video Solutions for Corporate Learning report. We credit Skillsoft, a long-time leader in enterprise learning management and content, for capitalising on their strengths and taking a leadership position in Learning Experience Platforms in such a short period of time.”
