BOSTON / LAUSANNE – August 10th, 2021: Nexthink, the leader in Digital Employee Experience (DEX) management software, today announced unprecedented growth during the first six months of 2021. Over the past several years, Nexthink has consistently outperformed itself and reliably grown its market share. This latest acceleration highlights that the momentum for continued investment in digital employee experience is continuing to rise.
“Companies want to deliver great digital experience to their employees from the design of the workplace to the successful adoption of applications and minimize downtime with automation and proactivity,” said Pedro Bados, CEO and co-founder of Nexthink. “This growth we’re seeing is exciting, but it’s just the beginning and we see a lot of potential in the market.”
Highlights of H1 2021 include:
- Grew ARR by 122% over the same period last year.
- Experienced a record low gross churn rate of 1.6%.
- Saw net dollar expansion of 118%.
- Signed more than 50 new customers, more than 50% of which came from financial, healthcare & pharmaceuticals and industrial & manufacturing.
