NewVoiceMedia, a leading global provider of cloud technology that helps businesses sell more, serve better and grow faster, has been named in the first-ever Forbes 2016 Cloud 100, the definitive list of top 100 private cloud companies in the world, developed in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners.

“NewVoiceMedia is honoured to be included in this prestigious list of private cloud companies”, commented NewVoiceMedia CEO Jonathan Gale. “We continue to advance and hone our suite of true cloud solutions which offer companies an intelligent communications platform to help them forge deeper connections with their customers, and are proud that our accomplishments have been recognised by Forbes”.

“Cloud companies are revolutionising how businesses reach their customers today from digitising 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 recognises a company for its financial growth and excellence as recognised 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”.
