From Backbone to Breakthrough: Authenticom Defines 360 Data Category (DXM), Wins Stevie® Award

LA CROSSE, Wis., April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Authenticom Group of Companies has been named a Silver Stevie® Award winner in the 24th Annual American Business Awards® for its entry, "Authenticom Group Creates New 360 Data Category (DXM)," in the category of Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year – Up to 100 Employees.

The award recognizes Authenticom Group's introduction of Data Experience Management (DXM), a new category that replaces fragmented data workflows with a unified operating model spanning connectivity, governance, data quality, customer experience, and predictive intelligence.

At the core of DXM is a shift away from legacy, score-based customer experience systems toward operational root-cause visibility. Instead of relying on backward-looking metrics like CSI and NPS, the platform connects customer sentiment directly to underlying operational data, allowing issues to be identified, understood, and resolved in real time.

Stevie Awards judges described the nomination as "a compelling example of scale, market trust, and a clear trajectory of strategic evolution," and highlighted its "ambitious, well-articulated platform vision with genuine category innovation (DXM)."

The platform unifies five core pillars—Connect, Drive, Transform, Measure, and Predict—into a single system designed to move the industry from disconnected tools to continuous, intelligence-driven execution. These pillars enable secure data movement and onboarding, standardized integration workflows, clean and normalized data, real-time customer experience insights tied to operations, and predictive analytics that surface patterns and drive action, representing a structural shift in how automotive organizations manage and act on data across the full lifecycle.

Speaking to the significance of this shift, Jason Tryfon, Global CEO of Authenticom Group, said, "This award validates the work our team has done to define an entirely new category. This recognition highlights the importance of turning data into actionable insights. DXM brings together connectivity, data quality, customer experience, and predictive intelligence into a single operational model, helping our customers move from insight to action faster and with greater confidence."

This recognition reinforces Authenticom Group's role in defining how data is connected, understood, and acted on across the automotive ecosystem.
