As always, we’ve been thoroughly impressed by this year’s nominees – who year-on-year seem to raise the bar in exceptional SaaS products. Technology buyers are becoming more discerning as budgets are tightened, and expectations heightened. Being able to blend ingenuity with demonstrable results is a must to stand out in today’s market – and Agiloft has done just that. Landing a shortlist spot is an excellent achievement. We wish them, and their fellow short listees, luck as we head into the next round of judging.”
“Being recognized across four categories, spanning enterprise capability, customer satisfaction, innovation, and data, reflects exactly what we set out to build with Astra,” said Otto Hanson, VP of Product and GM of Astra at Agiloft. “Contract intelligence should not require six-month implementation or a six-figure budget. We built a product that delivers real value within minutes of first login, with the data security protections that enterprise teams require. This shortlist is validation that the market agrees.”
