About The CC Awards Program
The CC Awards Program, made possible through the coordination of the Frost & Sullivan Customer Engagement Digital Transformation practice, Frost & Sullivan Research Insights practice and the Frost & Sullivan Customer Contact Executive MindXchange, honors companies and individual leaders that are shaping the future of customer service. Honored recipients have demonstrated achievement in one or more of five categories: Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Process Automation, Self Service and Social Media.
Companies are vetted through a rigorous two-stage evaluation process. The initial stage involves the completion of a questionnaire application. Questions posed range from customer engagement capabilities to business outcomes. Entrants are free to apply in one or more categories, provided responses are complete for each section.
Qualifying companies will then progress to the second stage for evaluation by a judging panel consisting of experts from the industry and Frost & Sullivan research analysts.
Kahuna winners will be celebrated and the top-scoring company in each category will be presented with The Big Kahuna award at the 15th Anniversary Customer Contact West: A Frost & Sullivan Executive MindXchange, taking place October 27-30, 2019, at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa in Huntington Beach, Calif.
