The challenge

Acuity, Inc., an IT consulting firm serving top U.S. federal agencies, grew by 50% after winning a major contract in 2019 and needed to scale learning and development quickly. Its previous platform reached fewer than half of its employees and lacked the resources to grow, while the firm required regularly updated content on Microsoft, AWS, and ServiceNow with 24/7 on-demand access.

The solution

Acuity deployed Udemy Business so every employee had a license and on-demand access to high-quality, current technical content across its three main technology vendors, supporting the certifications its consultants need.

Without Udemy Business, it would’ve been difficult to build a culture of learning like we have today. We’ve saved thousands of dollars by not having to pay for employees to complete training courses with external vendors.
