In its third year, these awards recognize companies that provide products and services that help companies improve the customer experience they deliver. Nominees are rated based on their capabilities, results, and client feedback.

The CxVE Awards were judged by five noted customer experience experts: Mila D’Antonio (Editor-in-Chief at 1to1 Media), Desirree Madison-Biggs (Customer Experience/NPS Programs Director at Airbnb.), Rick Meyreles (VP – Global Voice of Customer, World Service at American Express), Jen Rodstrom (CX Transformist at Temkin Group), and Bruce Temkin (Managing Partner & CX Transformist at Temkin Group).

“This year’s crop of candidates was quite competitive. With growing capabilities aimed at improving their clients’ customer experience, thoughtful strategies focused on long-term growth, and exciting road maps that promise innovative enhancements and product launches in the coming months, the vendors that participated in the Temkin Group Customer Experience Vendor Excellence Awards prove that customer experience excellence is at the forefront of technology design.” – Mila D’Antonio

In addition to those three winners, seven other companies were named as finalists: ForeSee, Ipsos Loyalty, Mattersight, Medallia, Rapide, TeamSupport, and Waypoint Group.

We received 24 strong nominees, which highlights the strengthening ecosystem for supporting customer experience efforts. Here’s what a couple of the judges had to say about the nominees:

Kate Woodcock: “The breadth and depth of capability shown by all the submissions bodes very well for our still-maturing industry.  We’re in good hands – with help from these organizations, companies that choose to commit to and adopt customer-driven change can expect to differentiate themselves in their industry and reap the rewards.”

Mila D’Antonio: “The winners and finalists demonstrate a real commitment to integrating their clients’ voice of the customer data across channels, and helping their clients enable customer-focused cultures. Their customers show proven results that a focus on the customer experience can directly correlate to financial benefits.”

Nominations were judged on rhe following criteria:

• Capabilities. What products and/or services do you offer that are uniquely able to help companies improve their customer experience?
• Results. How have you helped companies improve their customer experience and overall business results?
• References. What do clients say about your work?
