Core Products and Solutions

Blue

Blue is the centralized orchestration layer for feedback programs. It automates collection, evaluation, reporting distribution, and insight delivery across large-scale initiatives such as course evaluations, 360-degree feedback, and employee engagement surveys. Blue connects with LMS, SIS, HRIS, CRM, and authentication systems, so feedback moves from capture to reporting with less manual work. Leaders get unified, role-based dashboards, while departments manage independent programs in the same workflow. Blue supports cloud, hybrid, and on-premises deployment options and is WCAG 2.2 AA certified.

BlueX

BlueX is a flexible survey and feedback platform with a drag-and-drop creation experience. Teams can launch surveys, forms, administrative content, and interactive learning content without heavy technical support. BlueX includes confidentiality controls, permission and approval inheritance, live survey pause and continue, and migration tools such as Qualtrics Connector and QSF import. BlueX uses an unlimited licensing model, which supports organization-wide deployment without per-user fees.
