This honor identifies companies that maintain consistently high standards for product or service quality and innovation, allowing them to form deep relationships with their customers. It identifies innovative leaders that continue to prosper under growing competitive intensity, increased customer demand and an era of economic change.

“Verint’s core values tell us a lot about the company. Customers are considered a primary focus, and employees play a critical role in contributing to their good experiences,” adds Munhoz. “The company’s commitment to providing the industry with forward-thinking solutions—in combination with its holistic growth and through acquisition—has further extended its market leadership across the enterprise.”
