Over time, it became a trusted partner to programs across North America and beyond.In 2021, Altus Assessments acquired One45, and in 2022, we unified as Acuity Insights, a single, growing organization with a shared purpose and broader vision.What started as two distinct products is now one integrated mission supported by our Analytics platform, which delivers actionable insights to drive continuous improvement across the learner journey.Today, our solutions support students and institutions from admissions to graduation across North America, the U.K., Australia, and Saudi Arabia.
