Creative Virtual Named as Finalist in 2014 Stevie® Awards for Sales & Customer Service
London, UK (PRWEB) January 24, 2014 -- Creative Virtual, a leader in customer experience self-service solutions for global enterprises, was named a Finalist in the categories of ‘New IVR or Web Service Solution’ and ‘Sales or Customer Service Solutions Technology Partner of the Year’ in the eighth annual Stevie® Awards for Sales & Customer Service, and will ultimately be a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie Award winner in each category.
The awards are presented by the Stevie Awards, which organises several of the world’s leading business awards shows including the prestigious International Business Awards and the new Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.
The final results will be announced during a gala banquet on Friday, 21st February at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Finalists from the USA and several other nations are expected to attend.
More than 1,500 nominations from organisations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were evaluated in this year’s competition, an increase of 36% over 2013. Finalists were determined by the average scores of 129 professionals worldwide, acting as preliminary judges. Entries were considered in 43 categories for customer service and contact centre achievements; 43 categories for sales and business development achievements; and categories to recognise new products and services and solution providers.
In 2013, Creative Virtual was named the winner of a Silver Stevie Award as part of the 10th Annual International Business Awards in the category of Most Innovative Company of the Year in Europe. The company’s advanced technologies in knowledge management, natural language processing and virtual assistants, brought together in the critically acclaimed platform V-Portal™, have garnered this attention from the Stevie Award judging panels.
“It is a great honour to be named as a Finalist in two separate categories in this year’s Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service. Our goal in developing our transformative technology is to allow organisations to deploy cross-channel, multi-modal content with just a few clicks,” said Chris Ezekiel, Creative Virtual Founder & CEO. “With V-Portal, we have focused on our vision of creating a platform that truly allows full-scale conversations to occur between people and technology. We are currently celebrating Creative Virtual’s tenth anniversary, and it is exciting to have our accomplishments recognised alongside such an impressive group of Finalists.”
More than 100 members of seven specialised judging committees will determine the Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award placements from among the Finalists during final judging, to take place 27 January - 5 February.
“In a record-breaking year for nominations, the judges saw extraordinary quality in the achievements portrayed in these Finalist nominations,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. “The final judges should enjoy reading and evaluating such a treasure trove of excellent work.”
