On average, the platform sent over 30 messages per second last year. In that same period, the company signed over 500 new corporate, healthcare, and government customers and added 100 new employees to its global team.
“Each and every one of our winners and for that matter, our nominees, are leaders in their space, driving forward this innovation economy to make our lives and our own companies far superior to any other region in the country, let alone the world,” said SBANE’s New England Innovation Awards Committee Chairman, Todd Faber, President, The Faber Group. “As the SBANE Circle of Excellence welcomes the class of 2016, I can honestly say it is one of our best yet.”
