The company states that "three of the Big Four professional services firms, the world’s leading pharmaceutical company...and three of the four branches of the United States Department of Defense" use the platform, working with closely Udacity to create courses to meet their training and education needs. In 2017 the company acquired Terminal.com, a software and AI provider that specializes in educational technology.
