“From increasing customer satisfaction and driving service revenues to cutting costs and bolstering worker productivity, it’s been amazing to see how moving field service into the cloud has transformed what was traditionally thought of as a cost center into a strategic business asset,” said Dave Yarnold, ServiceMax CEO. “We’re thrilled Forbes has recognized ServiceMax for its success in this space and we’re even more excited about what the future holds.”
“Cloud companies are revolutionizing how businesses reach their customers today from digitizing painful old processes to allowing them more time to focus on what they really care about—what makes their products unique,” said Forbes editor of the Cloud 100 list Alex Konrad. “Inclusion in the Forbes 2016 Cloud 100 list recognizes a company for its financial growth and excellence as recognized by customers and peers.”
