This is the second consecutive time Conversica has appeared on the Constellation ShortList in this category. This award recognizes software and applications that allow sales professionals to maximize their performance and productivity. Constellation Research, a respected technology research and advisory firm based in Silicon Valley, determines its list by inquiries and interviews with the nominees' clients and partners; while also factoring in market share and internal research.

Constellation Research estimates that by 2020, at least 60 percent of the data considered to be mission-critical will live outside of the corporate firewall instead of in on-premises data centers. This trend has accelerated through the mobile, social and big data movements, with data and applications increasingly living and running outside of the four walls of the enterprise. As organizations shift from ownership to access, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of things (IOT), and block chain will all require contextual insights to be delivered at the speed of thought. Against this backdrop, Integration Platform as a Service (IPaaS) is emerging as a one-stop, cloud-based choice for supporting both data integration and application integration to help address the new requirements and challenges that organizations face. IPaaS provides the foundational and mission-critical capabilities required to support disruptive business models.
