As organizations navigate tighter budgets, leaner teams, and rising performance expectations, productivity has emerged as a critical priority. The 2025 Productivity Champions, based on verified end-user feedback from SoftwareReviews, identify software solutions that enable organizations to make better use of time and resources. These solutions support faster execution and improved efficiency across business functions.

ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - The top ten software solutions recognized as Productivity Champions in 2025 have been identified based on verified end-user feedback from Info-Tech Research Group's SoftwareReviews platform. The rankings spotlight solutions that consistently help teams work more efficiently, streamline workflows, and improve day-to-day operations. Selected from hundreds of software categories evaluated throughout the year, the 2025 Productivity Champions list spans core technology areas such as IT security, ERP, marketing, human resources, data, and business intelligence.

High-productivity software solutions enable better decision-making, faster execution, and stronger organizational performance. In environments where time and resources are constrained, productivity-driving software plays a critical role in helping organizations operate efficiently and achieve sustainable success. Support for organizational productivity is also one of the most influential factors behind users' willingness to recommend their software to peers.

Info-Tech identified the top solutions by evaluating real end-user feedback and collecting up to 130 data points on software performance. These results are aggregated into the Net Promoter Score (NPS), a widely recognized metric that measures user sentiment and customer satisfaction based on the likelihood of users recommending a product or service. The firm's methodology emphasizes that the rankings are based exclusively on genuine user reviews without the influence of analysts or vendors.
