Skillsoft provides an enterprise software platform for workforce learning and skills development. The core product is Percipio, an AI-native platform that combines a large library of learning content with tools for skills measurement, benchmarking, workforce analytics, and learning administration. Organizations use Percipio to train employees across technology, leadership and business, and compliance subject areas. The platform supports multiple learning formats, including digital courses, practice labs, simulations, coaching, bootcamps, and assessments. Skillsoft operates two segments: Talent Development Solutions (TDS), which is the core business at roughly 78% of revenue, and Global Knowledge (GK), which accounts for the remaining ~22%. TDS is primarily an enterprise subscription business serving over 3,000 enterprise customers — contracts are multi-year, priced by number of users and product configuration, and revenue is recognized ratably, making it largely recurring. TDS also includes Codecademy, a direct-to-consumer learner platform, though that business is under pressure. GK delivers instructor-led technology training, but has been in significant decline as customers shift to digital formats; Skillsoft is actively pursuing a sale or partnership for GK. The company's key revenue health metric is dollar retention rate, with enterprise DRR recently around 99%. Strategically, Skillsoft is repositioning from a content provider toward an integrated skills management platform, investing in AI features like CAISY (an AI role-play simulation tool) and LX Design Studio (an AI content creation tool), while refocusing its sales motion on large enterprise customers.
