About uPerform

What we do

At uPerform, we are on a mission to transform software training and support and help organizations realize the full potential of their mission-critical software investments. We work with large health systems and businesses to turn their digital learning goals into reality. We are committed to helping our clients’ employees become more productive software users, enabling them to perform better and make it home in time for dinner.

Why we do it

We believe that learning is a lifelong journey, and with the right tools and support, anyone can succeed. We also believe that software is meant to be a tool to help us perform our daily tasks more efficiently and more accurately, but without the right training and ongoing support, software can often hinder productivity. We aim to empower users to take ownership of their software learning journey, driving more confident, competent users and more productive employees.
