Sprinklr's Social Relationship Platform Called "Most Powerful Technology in the Market" by Top Independent Research Firm

NEW YORK, April 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sprinklr, the leading provider of social media management (SMM) infrastructure for the enterprise, today announced that it was recognized for offering the "most powerful technology in the market" in The Forrester Wave™: Social Relationship Platforms, Q2 2013 published by Forrester Research, Inc.  For the purposes of this report, Forrester evaluated eight top vendors on a 49 point criteria which included: the capability to manage social relationship tasks across many social sites, demonstrated ability to provide large scale deployments to enterprise clients, and significant market presence.

In addition, Forrester Research noted that within the Social Relationship Platform market, "Sprinklr set out to build a potent technology, and it succeeded," a sentiment shared by Nick Ayres, Manager, Social Marketing for InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG). "I've been in Social at the enterprise level for many years and have watched the landscape evolve dramatically. At IHG, we've built a sophisticated global social operation and as a result, our needs are fairly complex. Having seen most of the significant vendors in the market, there's no doubt in my mind that Sprinklr is a leader that has the horsepower to deliver for IHG as we continue on our social business journey."

Sprinklr CEO, Ragy Thomas says the Company has achieved a great deal and aims even higher. "We greatly appreciate the findings from report author Nate Elliott and the Forrester team. They have done a service to the industry by raising the discussion from tactical to strategic. Our vision, however, is that large organizations need an integrated enterprise social infrastructure that transcends siloed functions and business units to support the dynamic customer journey. We are confident that we have the strongest and best Social Relationship Platform offering on the market today, and we are focused on what our clients will demand in the future."

Sprinklr provides the social infrastructure for more than 200 household name brands such as Intel, Dell, Virgin America, Cisco Systems, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Hearst and Newell Rubbermaid. It has ambitious plans to improve enterprise-wide social management in what Sprinklr calls "the 5 C's of Social Management Success," content, conversations, campaigns, collaboration, and community. The company was cited previously by the Altimeter Group for having the "most capable" solution for large enterprises as well as two consecutive "top-right" rankings from Econsultancy.

In the four months since the review of the platform by Forrester Research, Sprinklr has had 15 feature releases and introduced a new UI, the result of a full year's worth of investment in design, user experience, and human factors engineering.

"With our continued focus on first-rate technology, intuitive user interface, and unparalleled experience with global brands, we are confident that the industry analyst community and our clients will reach the conclusion that Sprinklr offers the best Social Relationship Platform available," says Thomas.
