【收购】微软宣布收购OKR公司Ally.io，以便增强其员工体验平台Viva
来自微软官方的信息：
我们很高兴地宣布，微软已经收购了Ally.io，以帮助彻底改变企业如何使用技术，在混合世界中为工作、目的和结果带来更深的联系。Ally.io是一家领先的OKR（目标和关键结果）公司，将加入微软Viva大家庭，成为我们员工体验平台（EXP）的一部分，旨在帮助企业拥抱新的数字工作生活。
将员工的工作与公司的战略任务和核心优先事项相结合是每个组织的首要任务。要做到这一点，领导者需要投资于那些围绕公司的大赌注进行透明沟通的工具，并创造方法在组织的各个层面上层层递进理想的目标和报告结果。当团队看到他们是如何产生影响的时候，员工就会更加投入，更加专注，更加有动力去实现公司的发展和他们自己的个人成就。
灵活性和远程工作一直很重要，但做有意义工作的愿望也很重要。向混合型工作的转变使得保持每个领导者、团队和个人的一致性并按照相同的节奏前进更具挑战性。Ally.io有助于让组织中的每个人对整个工作流程保持可见性和清晰性，将日常工作与公司的战略目标联系起来。
OKR类别是一个快速增长的新兴领域。Ally.io作为市场上最受欢迎的工具之一，正在引领潮流。客户发现Ally.io的体验很灵活，易于使用，能快速实现价值。他们欣赏其与现有工作系统的广泛整合。自2018年推出以来，Ally.io已被80多个国家的1000多家领先的高科技、制造业、金融服务和医疗保健企业采用。
Ally.io将为一个新的微软Viva模块提供动力。Viva是一个员工体验平台，它汇集了沟通、知识、学习、资源和洞察力--从你工作的任何地方。在Microsoft 365和Microsoft Teams的支持下，Viva帮助企业培养一种人际关系、成长、幸福和成功的文化。今天，Viva有四个相连的模块--连接、洞察、主题和学习--在工作流程中提供了一个具有智能和可操作洞察力的整体体验。我们期待着将Ally.io带入Viva大家庭。
Ally.io和微软Viva将丰富人们和团队的合作方式，以建立一致性并实现更好的业务成果。明年，我们将进行投资，把Ally.io引入微软云，发展与微软团队的现有整合，并把Ally.io纳入Viva、Office、Power BI和更广泛的微软365应用和服务。在此之前，现有客户可以继续期待同样出色的支持和服务，而新客户可以继续通过Ally.io购买现有服务。在我们将Ally.io引入微软云的过程中，我们坚定地致力于为所有客户实现平稳过渡。
我们欢迎Ally.io团队加入微软! 我们很高兴有机会帮助客户推动任务调整，并为员工体验带来更多意义和成就感。

以下是其CEO Vetri Vellore 对于收购的介绍：
We launched Ally.io in 2018 with the mission to bring purpose, happiness, and productivity to work. It is incredible to see that in less than three years, we have grown to 1,000+ customers in 80+ countries and a team of 250+ amazing people.
Today, I’m thrilled to share a major milestone in that journey with you:
Ally.io has been acquired by Microsoft!
Our mission and focus on delighting customers remains the same, while our ability to scale that mission will increase dramatically as we become a key component of the Microsoft Viva platform. As a part of Viva, we’re excited to continue shaping the future of work, now with the power of the most important technology company in the business sector behind us.
Thank you for joining us on this journey
I am grateful to our customers, investors, partners, and team for choosing to trust and support us on this journey.
And what a journey it has been! In less than three years, Ally.io has enabled customers to create over a million OKRs, we were named Geekwire’s Startup of the Year in 2020, we were a finalist for Next Tech Titan in 2021 (which…is technically true now, right?), and we’ve been a G2 Crowd leader every quarter for over a year now. Thank you again for your support, feedback, and trust.
We’re only getting started
As a part of Microsoft Viva, Ally.io will continue to give leaders, teams, and individuals the ability to align and focus everyday work to the company’s most important objectives. We will help bring goals and purpose to wherever the team is doing work, including Teams, Outlook, Slack, and the other systems you use every day. Over the coming months, we’ll share more details about the exciting new features and integrations.
For a preview into the exciting future for Ally.io as a part of the Viva family, please read the Microsoft announcement.
