Talkdesk Named Cloud Innovator of the Year and Cloud Innovator of the Decade in 2021-22 Cloud Awards
Global customer experience leader also named to shortlist for ‘Cloud Disruptor of the Year’
SAN FRANCISCO–March. 2, 2022–Talkdesk®, Inc., a global contact center leader for customer-obsessed companies, has been crowned Cloud Innovator of the Year and Cloud Innovator of the Decade as part of the international Cloud Computing Awards.
Talkdesk was recognized for its innovations in CX over the last year and decade, aptly timed with the company’s tenth birthday celebration in 2021. Since its founding, Talkdesk has fast become known for its technology leadership and continues to introduce industry-disrupting innovations. In the last two years alone, Talkdesk launched more than 40 new products, including the first human-in-the-loop artificial intelligence tool for the contact center and the first enterprise-grade, purpose-built contact center solutions for industry-specific requirements.
When Tiago Paiva founded Talkdesk after winning seed money from a hackathon, he envisioned a better way to put the customer at the heart of every interaction. A decade later, a young entrepreneur’s dream is now a reality and the organization he built is among the most highly valued private companies in the enterprise software industry.
“The Cloud Awards has been identifying the great organizations who create world-changing technologies for a decade now. Talkdesk is a worthier-than-ever winner of a Cloud Award, taking cloud technologies to new heights,” said James Williams, head of operations for the Cloud Awards. “It was a real pleasure to see them come top in their category and shows how much they impressed the panel with their market-leading innovations.”
