“Growing from a start-up with two employees in 1994, to a global, publicly traded company with more than 2,000 employees has been an amazing journey,” said Interactive Intelligence founder and CEO Dr. Donald E. Brown. “As part of our 20th anniversary celebration I want to thank our dedicated and incredibly hard-working employees, our hundreds of skilled partners, and our thousands of wonderful customers, especially those who took a chance on us in the early days.”

Examples of Interactive Intelligence innovations along its 20-year road to success include the following:

For our customers, that means unprecedented ease and speed of deployment, along with continuous access to exciting new features that promise to change the face of customer service.”
