Akumina Releases Project BOND, Its Most Prolific Employee Experience Platform Upgrade Since Inception

NASHUA, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Akumina, the leading global Employee Experience Platform (EXP) software provider and one of INC Magazine’s Top 200 fastest growing companies in North America, announced today the release of Project BOND – Akumina’s most expansive platform enhancement ever – which delivers a transformative social, collaborative, and integrated adaptation to the concept of the traditional modern intranet. This release comes on the heels of the organization’s appointment of Peter Karp as Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Business Development to lead their global go-to-market efforts.

“We view Project BOND as the next phase in the evolution of modern intranet and digital workplace technologies,” said David Maffei, President and Co-Founder of Akumina. “By driving content into an activity-based newsfeed interface with integrated enterprise social features, this release will change the game on how medium and large enterprises drive increases in employee engagement. Project BOND also delivers even deeper out-of-the-box integration with major cloud providers like Microsoft, ServiceNow, Workday and Salesforce.com just to name a few. Our employee experience platform is now more powerful and engaging than ever before.”

Akumina is best known for its innovative approach to modern intranet design and development. The award-winning platform combines a powerful personalization engine with connectors to hundreds of the most-used applications on the market to enable global enterprise organizations like ING, Vodafone, and GlaxoSmithKline to build integrated, mobile-first modern intranet experiences for their employees.

The headlining capabilities in the Project BOND release will be embraced by both the general public and Akumina’s existing customer base who have already been using Project BOND in beta.

“With the Project BOND release, we made the conscious choice to invest in our customers more than ever before. We spent significant time learning what our customers demand to see in their modern intranet and employee hub experience and created a new framework that puts the power of an enterprise’s content in the hands of each and every member of their workforce,” said Ed Rogers, Akumina’s Chief Executive Officer. “Global enterprise customers such as Vodafone, ING, and Rich Products Corporation have worked closely with our R&D team to ensure Project BOND would deliver the most integrated, accessible and seamless employee experience available on the market.”
