SAN RAMON, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Five9, Inc. (NASDAQ: FIVN), a leading provider of the intelligent cloud contact center, today announced it has been named a winner of the 2021 Aragon Research Innovation Award for Intelligent Contact Centers.

This achievement marks the fourth consecutive year Five9 has received an Aragon Innovation Award, which recognizes providers leveraging technology to adapt as markets change and actively inform how their markets will evolve. Five9 was formally presented with the award on Dec. 2 at Aragon Transform, the annual Aragon Research awards ceremony.

These offerings helped companies scale their operations and increase efficiency and connectivity between the contact center and the broader organization. Five9 also continued to evolve its core underlying hyperscale architecture to include additional APIs and enhanced security, reliability, and scalability — all to help customers as they scale their CX operations.

“We believe that winning the Innovation Award for the fourth straight year is a reflection of our focus on delivering the industry’s most modern cloud portfolio,” said Callan Schebella, EVP of Product Management at Five9. “We are honored to be recognized by Aragon Research once again, as we continue to advance the Five9 Intelligent Cloud Contact Center to help enterprises reimagine their customer experience and realize results.”

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
