The CRM Market Awards honor the leading vendors of sales and marketing technologies across nine categories. Recipients of the CRM Market Leader Awards were determined through an extensive process that collects evaluations from industry analysts regarding product functionality, company direction, customer satisfaction, and cost.
These ratings are then run through a proprietary scoring algorithm that also takes into consideration recent company product releases, partnerships, and financial information.
Leonard Klie, editor of CRM magazine highlights the progress made by most CRM vendors and stated “In the past 12 months, we’ve seen most CRM vendors build on their solutions to make them more robust, more versatile, and more easily integrated with other solutions in ever-expanding software ecosystems.
We’ve also seen huge advances in artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, blockchain, automated bots, and so much more. These cutting-edge technologies are making CRM systems more flexible, more accurate, more interactive, more user-friendly, and more secure, while adding capabilities that couldn’t have been imagined just a few short years ago,”.
