Now in their 11th year, the awards aim to establish a standard of excellence for customer-focused organizations and honor those companies that provide value to customers and shareholders by effectively bringing together strategy, technology, and execution to deliver ideal customer experiences.
“Innovation drives our company at every level and taking the lead to become the customer-centric organization today’s marketplace demands is no exception,” said John McCready, EVP, Products and Corporate Development. “Our entire team came together with unwavering focus and commitment to this effort and our customers are responding positively. This award is a welcome validation of our hard work.”

For the first time, our winners have outlined clear-cut goals, the ability to achieve enterprise-wide buy-in and commitment, cross-departmental process changes, and tangible results. Most importantly, they’ve elevated their customer experience to meet consumer expectations,” said Mila D’Antonio, editor-in-chief of 1to1 Media. “My hope is that organizations across all industries will take away at least one element from these winning initiatives to implement within their companies.”
