AlwaysOn Names iovation an OnDemandTop 100 Winner
April 14th, 2010 by Greg Pierson
I’m very proud that iovation was included in the 2010 OnDemand Top 100, as selected by the AlwaysOn staff and other industry experts across the globe. This list recognizes companies for creating new opportunities in cloud computing and SaaS.
AlwaysOn asserts that the selected companies are developing game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets. Selection criteria include innovation, market potential, commercialization, shareholder value and media buzz. Quoting Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn:
“As the digital information created by businesses continues to explode at astronomical rates, the need to store, manage, and share this information is becoming extremely challenging. By providing innovative technologies that help enterprises better compete in this new era of information complexity, the OnDemand 100 represent some of the highest growth opportunities in the private company marketplace.”
It’s an honor to be recognized by industry experts for pioneering the use of device reputation to help online businesses fight fraud and abuse. The only thing better is recognition from customers that use our service every single day.
Along with the more obvious benefits of a growing customer base, more customers means more feedback. Just this morning I was checking in with one of our newest financial services customers. They were very happy with the ROI on our service and highly complimentary of our team. And last week I ran into the CIO for the Portland Trail Blazers at a business function – GO BLAZERS! Seeing ‘iovation’ on my name tag he went out of his way to explain how much he appreciates our service and how we have helped them significantly reducing fraudulent ticket sales.
It’s always great to hear that we have a valuable service and even better to hear customers compliment our people. We really do have a great team that genuinely cares and will do whatever it takes to help our customers. While most of the praise is heaped on our client services organization – which makes sense since this is the part of the organization that fights the good fight side-by-side our customers every day – it’s deserved across the board.
And speaking of positive energy, I love that our customers are sending us pictures of their fraud teams from around the world all wearing our coveted iovation ‘virtual crime fighter’ shirts. For a growing number of folks on the iovation team here in Portland, this has also become the unofficial Friday uniform.
A little recognition, happy customers and happy employees. Nice.
