Our First-Ever Award
Determined By Readers

TMC and Customer Inter@ction Solutions magazine are proud to announce that the results have been tallied for our first-ever 'Best in Class' rankings. Rather than having a panel of editors and engineers determine the winners, we decided to let some other subject matter experts pick the winners: the end customers of the solutions and services.

We created a far-reaching customer satisfaction survey that covered many products and services within a variety of categories within the CRM, call/contact center, teleservices and IP contact center arenas. We then invited the people in the call/contact center, CRM and teleservices trenches ' both Customer Inter@ction Solutions magazine and TMCnet.com readers ' to take a few minutes to give their honest opinions about the services and solutions they use every day for their customer interaction needs. The readers spoke, we listened and tallied, and without further ado, we present the top-ranking company or companies within the categories.
