HeyWire Selected as an OnCloud Top 100 Winner

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- HeyWire, the leading enterprise text messaging service for connecting customers with businesses, today announced that AlwaysOn has named it one of the OnCloud Top 100 winners. Inclusion in the OnCloud 100 denotes HeyWire as a leader among its peers, and honors its game-changing approaches and technologies, which are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. HeyWire was selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts from around the world based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value and media buzz.

HeyWire's LiveText service provides cloud-based, two-way, customer texting for business, spanning customer contact centers, and field sales and service teams. HeyWire enables companies' 1-800 and office phone numbers for texting so customers can text to businesses using standard text messaging. Sales and service teams also leverage HeyWire's easy-to-use apps to text with customers from their mobile devices, office desktops or service agent consoles, which simultaneously improves customer satisfaction and business productivity.

"The OnCloud Top 100 represents the best-of-breed private companies in business-to-business applications, management tools, security and infrastructure sectors," explained AlwaysOn Founder and Editor, Tony Perkins. "Given the amount of growth and investment pouring into the cloud – by both emerging and Fortune 1000 companies, the OnCloud Top 100 Private companies are well positioned to be the fastest-growing and most highly valued new companies on the planet."

HeyWire and the OnCloud Top 100 companies will be honored at AlwaysOn's OnCloud event on February 26, 2015, at the College of San Mateo in Palo Alto, CA. This exclusive event gathers the Global Silicon Valley's brightest minds for a lively exchange on the top trends and most lucrative entrepreneurial opportunities in business-to-business applications, cloud infrastructure and security.

The OnCloud 100 winners were selected from hundreds of technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2015 list.

"Today's consumers overwhelmingly prefer to communicate via text rather than voice calling, and this includes texting with the companies they do business with," said Meredith Flynn-Ripley, CEO of HeyWire, Inc. "HeyWire is enabling enterprises to open the missing channel of business texting, letting customers securely text to 1-800 and office phone numbers while separating business from personal texting. It's an honor to be recognized as a Top 100 OnCloud winner for this innovation."

A full list of all the OnCloud 100 winners can be found on the AlwaysOn website at www.aonetwork.com.
