“The AO 100 companies are shaping today’s Web-driven, connected environment,” said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “We were inundated with nominations from leading companies, many of which I hope will appear on our list next year. My congratulations to each AO 100 winner – these are the companies which we predict will have the greatest market traction, strongest innovation and most game-changing approaches this year.”
“We’re honored to be selected so consistently for our market leadership by the industry’s luminaries,” said John Hubinger, AmberPoint CEO. “Year after year, our exceptional team continues to bring us the qualities that have earned us this recognition, including product innovation, a vision for market requirements and strong customer traction.”
