SAN FRANCISCO, June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithium Technologies today announced the winners of the fifth annual Lithium Digital Customer Excellence Awards, affectionately known as the Lithys. This year's awards set a new record for submissions with 66 entries from 17 countries across four continents and representing 47 brands. The 2015 Lithys also had a big impact on Lithium's own community, generating more than 21,000 page views and 9,000 visits—and adding 4,000 community members during the voting period. Winners were determined by community votes, outside judges Nate Elliott from Forrester Research and Jim Storer of The Community Roundtable, and Lithium executives.
"The Lithys are my favorite part of every LiNC and being on the judging panel this year was a tough job," said Rob Tarkoff, president and CEO of Lithium Technologies. "All submissions were strong and demonstrated great implementations of our platform and business impact to our customers. From revenue to cost savings across service and marketing functions, we help our customers win in their industries and with their customers."
