SpryPoint Named to Fast Company's Best Workplaces for Innovators

Recognition reflects SpryPoint's culture of continuous innovation across its people, client partnerships, and cloud-native utility technology solutions

ATLANTA and CHARLOTTETOWN, PE, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SpryPoint, a leading provider of CIS Modernization and cloud-native solutions for utilities, today announced that it has been named to Fast Company's 2026 Best Workplaces for Innovators in the emerging enterprise category (201 - 999 employees). This program recognizes organizations that create cultures where employees at all levels are empowered to develop and implement great ideas to serve customers, the business, and communities.

Fast Company's Best Workplaces for Innovators recognizes organizations committed to capturing and advancing great ideas wherever they originate. For SpryPoint, the recognition reflects a culture of continuous innovation that extends across how the company invests in its people, works alongside utility clients to solve real-world challenges, and develops and delivers its cloud-native utility platform.

"Innovation has been essential to how we work from day one. We started SpryPoint a decade-plus ago because we believed utilities deserved a better kind of CIS partner and needed a more innovative technology solution," said Kyle Strang, CEO and co-founder of SpryPoint. "That same thinking still drives us today. Our people are always looking for better ways to solve problems, work with our clients, and help utilities serve their communities. This recognition reflects the work of our entire team, along with the clients and partners who keep pushing us to think differently and get better."

SpryPoint was founded on the premise that utilities, to best serve their customers, need greater and faster access to innovation and should expect more from their business technology providers and critical business systems they rely on. That mindset continues to shape how the company operates every day.

SpryPoint's culture of continuous innovation comes to life in three areas as a Best Workplaces for Innovators:

• Investing in people and new ways of working. SpryPoint created its "Center of Excellence" to give employees the training, mentorship, hands-on experience, and support required to serve the increasingly complex needs of utilities. Its "Office of AI" is extending that investment across the company through AI tools, training, experimentation, and practical applications that help employees improve processes and create new ways of working. Both initiatives are designed around the same principle: equip people to learn, contribute, challenge existing approaches, and turn good ideas into action and value.

• Co-creating with clients and partners. SpryPoint teams work directly with water, electric, gas, and multi-service utilities to solve real operational and customer challenges, and to turn those needs into capabilities that can benefit the broader utility community. Dakota Electric's effort included innovation around one of the most important aspects of cooperative membership: capital credits. Dakota Electric collaborated with SpryPoint to develop functionality that supports managing and administering capital credits directly within the CIS environment, creating greater transparency, consistency, and operational efficiency around a process fundamental to the cooperative business model.

• Building a platform for continuous innovation. SpryPoint's cloud-native platform was designed to move utilities beyond the traditional cycle of major software upgrades, extensive customization, and disconnected applications. The model enables continuous product development and delivery, supported by secure integrations across the utility technology ecosystem. Feedback and ideas from clients, partners, implementation teams, support professionals, and product teams continually inform the roadmap, turning what SpryPoint learns in the field into improvements that can benefit utilities across the Americas.

These three areas reinforce one another. Investing in people creates stronger teams and new ideas. Working closely with clients and partners turns real utility challenges into opportunities to innovate. A cloud-native technology model provides a foundation for turning those ideas into capabilities we can deliver continuously to our clients.

That approach has become increasingly important as SpryPoint has scaled. The company grew revenue 616% over four years and expanded from approximately 50 employees in 2022 to more than 370 today. Alongside that growth, SpryPoint has continued to invest in the people, processes, technology, and partnerships required to serve a growing community of utilities.

"Innovation and our best ideas start with a member of our team seeing a better way to do something, a client bringing us a problem we haven't solved before, or a partner adding a different perspective," shared Strang. "Our job is to listen, learn, and turn those ideas into something that makes a difference for our clients. I'm proud of our team for building that kind of culture, and it's great to see it recognized by Fast Company."

Being named one of Fast Company's Best Workplaces for Innovators recognizes something that has been central to SpryPoint from the beginning: innovation works best when talented people are given the tools and opportunity to challenge what exists, collaborate with clients and partners, and continually find better ways to help utilities operate and serve their communities.
