Zendesk, Inc. was positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the "Leaders" quadrant in their May 8, 2017 Magic Quadrant for the CRM Customer Engagement Center report.
"We're helping organizations of all sizes not only support their customers but also build better, long-term relationships with them," said Zendesk founder and CEO, Mikkel Svane.
According to the report, "By 2019, over 85 percent of new packaged customer service and support software will be delivered on a cloud-based model and SaaS will emerge as an essential selection factor for CRM customer engagement centers in all geographies and for all but the most complex processes."
"We think this report reflects the urgent and global business need to engage and support the customer throughout the customer lifecycle and across multiple interaction channels," said Bryan Cox, Chief Revenue Offices at Zendesk. "By using Zendesk, companies gain a competitive advantage and the ability to scale, evolve and innovate."
