"Congratulations to the winners who stood out amongst a very strong group of applicants," states Bruce Temkin, Managing Partner of Temkin Group. "These companies stood out in their ability to help clients improve their customer experience."

In its fourth year, Temkin Group's CxVE Award recognizes companies that provide products and services that help companies improve the customer experience they deliver. The nominations are judged based on their capabilities, results, and client case studies. The scoring also includes feedback from their existing clients.

The CxVE Awards were judged by five noted customer experience experts: Mila D'Antonio (Editor-in-Chief at 1to1 Media), Mike Beaser (Vice President, Digital Customer Engagement at Fidelity Investments), Desirree Madison-Biggs (Customer Experience/NPS Programs Director at Airbnb), Jen Rodstrom (CX Transformist at Temkin Group), and Bruce Temkin (Managing Partner & CX Transformist at Temkin Group).

According to D'Antonio, "A thriving business today must revolve around the customer. To succeed, companies must thread the voice of the customer throughout their enterprises and make it the basis of all decisions they make. It's clear that the 2016 winners of Temkin Group's CX Vendor Excellence Awards offer the capabilities and expertise to help their clients achieve this goal of becoming real-time, customer-first, data-driven enterprises."
