Winners of the Best in Biz Awards 2016 were determined based on scoring from an independent panel of 50 judges from widely known business, consumer and technology publications, TV outlets, and analyst firms. The Best in Biz Awards is the only independent business awards program that recognizes top companies, teams, executives and products for their business success as judged by established members of the press and industry analysts. “If companies are going to stand out from the crowd and remain competitive in future years, innovation is key. The market is tough and there is no guarantee that today’s dominant players will remain so — unless time and effort are concentrated on research and development,” said Charlie Osborne, ZDNet, one of Best in Biz Awards’ judges this year. “This year’s entries in Best in Biz Awards highlighted not only innovative business practices but the emergence of next-generation technologies which will keep companies current and relevant.” Learn more about the cloud-based Five9 Virtual Contact Center, the latest in agent focused cloud contact center software from Five9.
