ISM President Barton Goldenberg, said:

“The winners of the 2015/16 Top 15 are the influencers in the CRM community who have made significant advancements in both functionality and connectivity for sales, customer service and marketing professionals; offer better decision making tools for executives; and provide more intimate connectivity with today’s Digital Clients.”

Goldenberg also notes two meaningful CRM industry trends: (1) ‘Social CRM’ will grow significantly as noted in his recent book, “The Definitive Guide to Social CRM,” Pearson, 2015; and (2) the ‘Internet of Things’ – where every day physical objects connect to the Internet – will explode from 9 billion connected devices/sensors today to a forecasted 2 trillion devices/sensors connected by 2020.

Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Bethesda, MD, ISM Inc. provides customer-centric strategic services to organizations planning and implementing CRM/Social CRM, Big Data Analysis/Insight, Branded Communities, Customer Experience Management, and Channel Optimization initiatives.
