The combination is backed by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vistaequitypartners.com\/about\/team\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Vista Equity Partners<\/a>, a leading global investment firm focused on enterprise software, data, and technology-enabled businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Through this merger, the combined business will serve 6,000+ customers, the market\u2019s most comprehensive omni-channel employee communications platform with unmatched personalization and measurement capabilities, supplemented by its class-leading space management solution for flexible desk and conference room booking. The combined business will provide a compelling solution for enterprises that are transforming from traditional working environments into venues for collaborative work. For the first time, organizations will be able to instantly connect with every employee \u2013 both disconnected and connected \u2013 wherever they work, through a single multi-channel platform.<\/p>\n<p>Enterprises today are faced with an unprecedented transition, both in the shift from traditional to hybrid working environments and the widespread return to the workplace as COVID-19 challenges subside. In this transition, employees have a need for an increased flow of information, with greater specificity to their role and location than ever before. With the combined solution from FWI and Poppulo, enterprises will be equipped to meet employee communication needs spanning employee locations and types, across email, mobile, digital signage, and other key information hubs like intranets and messaging platforms, all in a highly personalized way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the rapidly evolving nature of work and the increase in remote, hybrid and non-traditional workplaces, employee communication has never been more important than it is right now. This is true for both frontline and office workers. Together, Poppulo and FWI are extremely well positioned to lead enterprise customers through this critical transformation,\u201d said David Levin, CEO, FWI. \u201cThis is about putting the employee at the center of communications and making sure they have the information they need, when they need it, to ensure they are able to work effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis merger is a game-changer that will, for the first time, enable organizations to deliver long-overdue consumer-grade workplace communications that their people are used to in their personal lives,\u201d said Andrew O\u2019Shaughnessy, CEO, Poppulo. \u201cThe ability to connect and engage with every employee, and to give them a sense of belonging and purpose, has never been as critical as it is right now because of how radically the workplace has changed \u2013 and that\u2019s where internal communication is critical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The combined company will maintain operations out of offices in Denver, CO, Boston, MA, Cork, Ireland, and Luton, UK and sell to customers in more than 80 countries. The companies will maintain their current operations for a period of time, with the primary focus over the coming months to build strong integration between the FWI Cloud and Poppulo platforms to ensure the best possible customer experience as enterprises look to equip their teams with the targeted, relevant information they need to achieve success.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the critical role of employee communications in the rapidly changing workplace, Gartner, the leading research and advisory company, has recommended that application leaders need to \u201cprioritize internal communication by treating it as a strategic pillar in their digital workplace programs\u2026 Ignoring or not investing in internal communication programs can have a subtle but long-lasting negative impact on the transformation efforts needed for digital business and digital workplace efforts.\u201d <sup><strong>1<\/strong><\/sup> Time, resources, and funding need to be dedicated to ensuring that employee communication shifts from a stand-alone effort to one that complements other digital workplace priorities. Gartner also wrote that \u201ctechnical solutions need to mimic consumer-like experiences, with cross-channel\/cross-application integration becoming a rising priority.\u201d <sup><strong>1<\/strong><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFour Winds and Poppulo are both committed to empowering employee-centric internal communications, with technology that enables the creation and distribution of content across channels and both in and out of the office to ensure employees are informed, engaged and equipped to do their job effectively,\u201d said Patrick Severson, Senior Managing Director at Vista Equity Partners. \u201cWe are thrilled to welcome the Poppulo team to the Four Winds and Vista family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>FWI expects the transaction to close early in the second quarter of 2021.
