Acquisition to bring new micro-learning,
coaching, rapid authoring and learner engagement to Bigtincan’s
Sales Enablement platform together with household name customers
and market leading IP.
Bigtincan, the leader in mobile, AI-powered sales enablement
automation, today announced the acquisition of training and
enablement platform Zunos, to launch the industry’s most
comprehensive Enablement Platform for sales, service and
partner/channel teams.
In the digital era, workforce training and development is
critical for businesses looking to strengthen employee retention
and ultimately drive ROI. Bigtincan’s sales enablement platform,
combined with Zunos’ mobile-first, learning and onboarding, is
ideally positioned to deliver a gorgeous learning experience.
Together Bigtincan’s Hub and Zunos’ micro-learning platform will
arm sales teams and partner organizations with the skills and
knowledge needed to drive effectiveness and performance in an
increasingly competitive economy.
“Bigtincan is excited to welcome the Zunos team to our family,”
said David Keane, Co-founder and CEO of Bigtincan. “The unique
technology and market presence of Zunos adds to Bigtincan’s vision
of empowering sales and service professional to be more successful
and productive every day. Leveraging Zunos’ unique approach to
partner enablement, this acquisition also furthers our market reach
to include the traditionally extended – and often neglected –
network of our customers.”
In addition to Zunos’ learning capabilities, this acquisition
also adds household name customers American Airlines, Sony
PlayStation and Telstra to Bigtincan’s global customer base.
Additionally, Zunos brings its market leading IP, new channel
partners and world-class talent to the combined business.
“Zunos’ technology improves the performance of individuals by
taking learning and skills development to the next level, truly
engaging people with a unique learning experience," said Stefan
Teulon, CEO of Zunos. “In pairing our expertise with Bigtincan’s
innovative, AI approach, expansive go-to-market team and global
presence, we are excited to shape the future of learning and sales
enablement for a growing global market.”
As part of the integration, Bigtincan will leverage Zunos’
expertise to shape its comprehensive learning platform in the
Bigtincan Hub, focusing on micro-learning strategies to ensure
retention, gamification to boost engagement and partner enablement
to ensure holistic dissemination of content and knowledge across
partner teams and organizations.
According to a recent report from SiriusDecisions, sales
learning and coaching helps sales enablement create, deliver and
manage opportunities critical to the success of the sales teams.
The report goes on to discuss how sales learning and coaching
delivers a number of important benefits, including faster time to
competence, as well as providing individuals with confidence and
improved learning retention.
The acquisition terms include an upfront payment and ongoing
incentives based on Zunos revenue growth. Full terms of the
acquisition are available on the Bigtincan Investor site –
