CAMBRIDGE, Mass. --(Business Wire)--

HeyWire Business, the leading enterprise messaging company that delivers mobile-first communications and customer support, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the AlwaysOn Global 100 Companies to Watch. Inclusion in the AlwaysOn Global 100 Companies to Watch signifies leadership amongst its peers and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. HeyWire Business was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.

HeyWire Business adds cloud-based text messaging to office numbers and customer support 1-800 numbers. The Business Messenger service is comprised of self-serve smartphone and desktop apps that securely add text to your office phone number to enable faster, more productive sales and business relationships. LiveText adds text to existing 800 numbers for live text-based conversations with company support reps, delivering a missing, and preferred channel - sought by over 50% of today's consumers - delivering superior customer support for businesses of all sizes.

"As users shift from desktop to mobile, and more IT departments turn to the cloud, the Global Silicon Valley is opening up new markets for amazing new apps and services. More and more legacy institutions are being disrupted by technology innovation, and as the headlines ring from coast to coast, demand for efficiency and quality tops decades breaks apart monopolies. This year's up-and-comers are quickly moving into these new markets and bringing quick, nimble apps to users ready to adapt to technology's changing landscape," says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "The technology marketplace is being driven by the companies that made this year's AlwaysOn Global 100 Companies to Watch list. We congratulate the AlwaysOn Global 100 Companies to Watch, companies that our editors believe represent some of the highest-growth opportunities in today's private company marketplace."
