Organizations everywhere strive to identify best practices and integrate them into their daily operations, but until now, doing so successfully has remained an elusive goal. SAI’s Acadia® Performance Platform enables enterprise transformation as employees use “one best way” procedures to execute recurring processes. Acadia customers leverage well designed, highly intuitive software that provides just-in-time training and procedural information to employees, anytime, anywhere, on any web-enabled device along with a simple but powerful management tool that allows for continual performance monitoring and improvement.

Acadia has been deployed to enterprise clients in the retail banking, manufacturing, logistics and services verticals in the last three years with user counts ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands. Current Acadia clients access Acadia from the factory floor, distribution centers and back office around the world, in more than a dozen languages.
