History
Litmos was founded by Rich Chetwynd, Dan Allen, and Nicole Fougere. Chetwynd founded Litmos early in 2007 with the aim of creating a learning management system (LMS) that was quick to set up, easy to manage and fun to use; Allen developed the initial Litmos solution. In June 2011, Litmos was acquired by CallidusCloud. The company relocated to a new headquarters location in Dublin, CA in February 2015. In July 2015, the company acquired BridgeFront LLC, a leading provider of healthcare insurance and compliance education content to expand its offerings. It has been rebranded as Litmos Healthcare. Litmos acquired the assets of ViewCentral, a leader in the extended enterprise learning market, in April 2016. The acquisition added a full revenue management and e-commerce platform designed for selling and optimizing profitable training.
