InterCall Wins Silver for Company of the Year in Best in Biz Awards 2012 December 13, 2012 @ 11:48 AM | By Eric Vidal

The 2012 winners of the Best in Biz Awards have been announced and I’m happy to share that InterCall took the Silver in the Company of the Year category.

We’re proud of all the awards we win, regardless. But bringing home a victory like this is especially exciting. It’s not every day that InterCall as a whole brings home an achievement. Sure, each of our lines of business has their awards and honors to show for themselves over the course of each year. But being acknowledged for our collective efforts is something exceptional.

This particular submission process took an in depth look at our achievements in the past year. While many awards focus on individual product/service offerings or singular highlights submitted on behalf of each company, the Best in Biz Awards look for a comprehensive view of what sets a company apart. Hence the ‘best in biz’ name.

Additionally, the Best in Biz Awards require some citation to back up the claims made in the achievements submission. They won’t let you get away with saying you were the first company to beam a webcast back from Mars without having something to prove that’s the case (hasn’t happened yet, but give us time).

Lastly, the Best in Biz Awards take into consideration a company’s history as a whole. Where they are and where they’ve been play a critical role in where they are going.

It’s also worth noting that the Best in Biz Awards’ judges are a top-notch group of individuals from publications and analyst firms. Judges include representatives from ABC, BusinessWeek, Computerworld, Entrepreneur, Forbes, Inc., Network World and more.

So let me finish by just saying thanks to everyone across all our lines of business. We’ve had a successful year and we already know one of our goals for 2013… go for the Gold.
