CRM Magazine Names Its 2023 Industry Leaders in Its September 2023 Issue

Leave a comment


Additionally, CRM magazine named five exceptionally innovative companies as Conversation Starters.

CRM Industry Leader Awards
The editors of CRM determined the recipients of the CRM Industry Awards with input from industry analysts and consultants. CRM magazine asked its extensive panel of analysts/consultants two basic questions: If a client asked for your top five recommendations in a particular category, which vendors would you suggest and why? Based on those answers, recipients of the 2023 CRM Industry Awards are listed below in their respective categories:

  • Enterprise CRM Suite: Microsoft, Oracle, Pegasystems, SAP, Salesforce.
  • Midmarket/SMB CRM Suite: HubSpot, Microsoft, Salesforce, SugarCRM, Zoho.
  • Contact Center Infrastructure: Amazon Web Services, Five9, Genesys, NICE, Verint.
  • Contact Center Analytics: CallMiner, Genesys, Gridspace, NICE, Verint.
  • Workforce Engagement Management: Calabrio, Genesys, NICE, Playvox, Verint.
  • Contact Center Outsourcing: Alorica, Foundever (formerly Sitel Group) LiveOps, Movate (formerly CSS), Teleperformance.
  • Business Intelligence/Analytics: Domo, Microsoft, Qlik, SAS, Salesforce (Tableau).
  • Customer Data Platforms: Adobe, Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, The Loops.
  • Marketing Automation: Adobe, HubSpot, Oracle, Salesforce, Zoho.
  • Salesforce Automation: Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, SugarCRM, Zoho.
  • E-commerce Platforms: Adobe, NetSuite, Salesforce, SAP, Shopify.

CRM magazine’s goal with the CRM Industry Awards is to provide companies with a short list of companies they should consider for an initial purchase or technology upgrade in any of the 11 product categories covered. They’ll still need to do their due diligence before selecting the vendor and solution that is right for them, but we hope to at least give a few suggestions to get them started.

The CRM Conversation Starters 
CRM magazine also named five companies as Conversation Starters for 2023. They were ChurnZero, DoubleVerify, Meta, OpenAI, and UserTesting.

“Not surprisingly, in all of our award categories, almost all of the companies named have in some way been pioneers in the development and adoption of artificial intelligence, and in many cases, their activities with generative AI put them over the top,” said Leonard Klie, editor of CRM magazine. “And we are confident that this technology’s impact is just starting to be realized. No doubt, there is plenty more to come when it comes to AI.”

God Manifest Publishing Releases Douglas Gana’s First Book, “A Little Guy’s Rocket Ride to God”

Leave a comment


“Our team is honored and excited to publish Douglas’ first book,” stated Olivia Truong, CEO of God Manifest Publishing. “We believe that readers of all ages will be touched, as we were, by Douglas’ personal story with God.”

A Little Guy’s Rocket Ride to God is currently available on Amazon.com in paperback and eBook (Kindle).

About Douglas Gana

Douglas Gana is a native Texan, the youngest of four brothers, raised with his siblings in Bellaire, Texas, a small city nestled within the city limits of Houston, Texas. He authored his first book, A Little Guy’s Rocket Ride to God, in 2023, sharing his personal life-changing childhood adventure with readers throughout the world. Even at a very young age, Douglas knew that the rocket ride he experienced while living in Bellaire was God’s message to him, teaching him that there was nothing to fear in life. When Douglas was only 16, his father died, and at 17, his mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given four months to live. He would later remember God’s message while supporting his mother through her long journey and, ultimately, her transition into God’s loving arms. He had to grow up fast, focusing heavily on his scholastics, which led to him obtaining both undergraduate and graduate degrees while caring for his mother.

About God Manifest Publishing

God Manifest Publishing was founded in 2019 to provide big publisher services at a fraction of the cost and allow authors to pocket more royalties. They are the publishers of the popular children’s book Sandy: Arise and Shine and the autobiography Buddhists, Mormons & Jesus, both available on Amazon. Whether you’re seeking a professional publisher to provide the full spectrum of publishing services (copy editing, proofreading, design, and distribution), or you’re a self-publisher seeking a publishing partner to provide you with one or more of the many behind-the-scenes services that authors need, God Manifest Publishing is ready to help your book come to life. https://www.godmanifestpublishing.com
