CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- HeyWire Business, the leading enterprise mobile messaging cloud service, today announced that it has been named by AlwaysOn as one of the 2014 OnMobile Top 100 winners. Inclusion in the OnMobile 100 signifies leadership among peers and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets, as well as entrenched players. HeyWire Business was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value and media buzz.
HeyWire Business adds cloud-based text messaging to customer support and office numbers – letting customers text into businesses for any support, sales or service issue. The company's LiveText service adds text capabilities to existing customer service numbers and popular agent consoles – including Salesforce Service Cloud – enabling text-based conversations between customers and support reps. Business Messenger, the company's self-serve text messaging solution, available on the App Store and Google Play, lets companies and individuals add secure text messaging to any existing office phone number, improving responsiveness to customers and text-convenience to all business communications.
"The number of connected devices is in the billions, bringing the long-cherished vision of the Internet of Things into today's reality. The synergistic relationship between mobile application deployment and cloud infrastructure is becoming the mainstay of the computing world – and opens up a new venue for innovation," said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "This year's OnMobile 100 winners represent the companies that are connecting devices, running vital consumer and enterprise applications, and propelling technology into the future. The Global Silicon Valley will continue to nurture the companies developing the products and services that bring users together wherever and whenever they are."
"HeyWire Business is delighted to be named an OnMobile Top 100 winner for 2014. Today's customer is mobile and wants to text the businesses that they use. The brands that will win the battle for the customer are those that engage their customers via text," said Meredith Flynn-Ripley, CEO, HeyWire Business. "Our LiveText and Business Messenger applications are the only cloud-based solutions that enable companies to let their customers reach them with secure, two-way text messaging conversations. Whether resolving support issues or streamlining sales transactions, the platform lets companies improve customer satisfaction and profitability by filling the need for this missing, preferred channel."
The OnMobile 100 winners were selected from hundreds of other technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2014 list. HeyWire Business and the OnMobile Top 100 companies will be honored at AlwaysOn's OnMobile event on November 14th, 2014, at AlwaysOn's new headquarters at HelloStartUps in Menlo Park, CA.
