Emplify is a Fishers, Indiana-based privately held Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company with headquarters in the Nickel Plate District. Its employee engagement solution uses mobile apps to provide employees with a platform to access company information and voice feedback to company executives. Customers curate content for their apps based on the results of Emplify Measure, an annual and quarterly survey that uses psychometrically-validated questions to surface areas of improvement for the company's employee engagement. The company was introduced first as a product line by Bluebridge Digital Inc. in February 2016 and became an independent brand, now known as Emplify, in July 2016.

Corporate history
Bluebridge Digital Inc., known as Bluebridge, was founded in 2011 by Santiago Jaramillo in his college dorm room. The company began as a mobile app engagement platform for churches and tourism organizations built on a proprietary common code base.
In February 2016, Bluebridge hired Todd Richardson, now Chief People Officer, and acquired Cadence Consulting, which became the initial network of early adopters for the employee engagement sector of the business.
Bluebridge introduced Emplify as a new product line powered by Bluebridge in July 2016 after employee engagement accounted for more than half of new sales for the company.
In November 2016, Bluebridge sold its church and tourism units for a combined $8 million to invest complete focus and resources into Emplify.
