Our take
Bad experiences with IT environments cost companies 100 hours per person each year. In order for businesses to avoid those hours of lost productivity, they need to ensure that their employees' digital experience is working for them.
That's where Nexthink's digital experience platform comes in. Its platform combines monitoring, user engagement, analytics, and automation — all from the employee’s perspective. Using one platform, companies are able to handle all parts of their employee's digital experience cycle, from issue detection to employee engagement. Not only does this allow for businesses to be more productive, it also leads to happier employees no longer bogged down by frustrating IT failures.
The company boasts over 1,100 enterprise customers with more than 15 million employees between them. With offices across the globe, its existing customer base is already large. Nexthink has remained focused on further innovation and partnerships, adding capabilities such as conversational AI. The increase in companies looking to invest in digital employee experience tech is set to keep Nexthink on its existing growth trajectory.
