Medallia Is Named To First-Ever Forbes 2016 World's Best 100 Cloud Companies List

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Medallia, the global Customer Experience Management (CEM) leader, ranked #22 to the first-ever Forbes 2016 Cloud 100, its first ever list of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, developed in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners. To view the list, please visit www.forbes.com/cloud100. The list will appear in the October 4, 2016 issue of Forbes magazine. 

"The cloud is changing the way companies operate. In a world where power has shifted from businesses to customers because of social media, there's no more important change than the move to customer-centricity. Companies that let their customers down are at risk of being disrupted. Our flexible, easy-to-use cloud solution makes it simple for companies to operate in a customer-centric way," said Amy Pressman, co-founder and President of Medallia.

"Cloud companies are revolutionizing how businesses reach their customers today from digitizing painful old processes to allowing them more time to focus on what they really care about—what makes their products unique," said Forbes editor of the Cloud 100 list Alex Konrad.  "Inclusion in the Forbes 2016 Cloud 100 list recognizes a company for its financial growth and excellence as recognized by customers and peers."

"These are the companies to watch!" said Byron Deeter, a leading cloud investor and partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. "The Forbes Cloud 100 companies represent the very best private companies in cloud computing. We will see big IPOs and category killers emerge from this list as the cloud computing continues to propel the trillion-dollar software industry."
