Bigtincan's CEO and Co-Founder, David Keane, said: "We have been collaborating with the Vidinoti team for some time and I am delighted that we could now bring our companies together to accelerate development in this exciting space for enterprise use cases."
Guidance update
Also giving the Bigtincan share price a boost today was management revealing that it is on course to surpass its guidance in FY 2021.
