Microsoft acquires Ally.io, OKR start-up

Microsoft announced today that it has acquired Ally.io, a software services that helps organizations measure their progress against OKRs (objectives and key results), a typical way that management measures both individual and company progress. The two firms didn’t share the purchase price.

Microsoft plans to join Ally into its Viva group of employee experience products. Microsoft says the thought behind Viva and the Ally acquisition is to give a more transparent way to communicate organization goals and objectives to employees.

“Aligning employee work to the organization’s strategic mission and core priorities is top of mind for each organization. To do this, leaders need to invest in tools that communicate transparency around big organization bets and make ways to cascade operational goals and report results at all levels of an organization,” Kirk Koenigsbauer, chief operating officer and corporate VP in charge of experiences and devices wrote in a blog post announcing the deal.

Concerning Ally, CEO and organizer Vetri Vellore says that this will enable his organization to grow the product much more quickly as a part of Microsoft than he could have on his own.
