360insights, the leading global channel engagement and business optimization company, announced today that it has been named a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Channel Incentive Management, Q1 2022 report by Forrester Research. 360insights received the top score in the strategy category, and the highest scores possible in 12 criteria, including product vision, execution roadmap, supporting products and services, and partner ecosystem.
The Forrester Wave™ Channel Incentive Management, Q1 2022: The 11 Providers That Matter Most And How They Stack Up, is the compilation of research and analysis of the top 11 CIM providers. In Forrester’s 23-criterion evaluation, not only did 360insights receive the top ranking in the strategy category, but the company also received the highest possible score in the channel performance and incentive types criterion, and one of the highest scores in the capabilities and personalization criterion.
Specifically cited by the report’s authors, Forrester analysts Maria Chien and Jay McBain, “360insights distances itself from the pack. 360insights is the fastest-growing and most acquisitive CIM vendor in the industry. This 14-year-old company benefits from market leadership across a wide array of B2B, B2B2C, and B2C customer scenarios and has successfully driven incentives, motivation, and loyalty initiatives in a broad set of industries around the world.”
The report goes on to describe how, “360insights continues to build on its market leadership with several acquisitions in 2021 to strengthen its B2B channel incentives, partner management, and partner marketing portfolio. Customers said that this is having a quantifiable impact on delivering a strong partner ROI and retention.”
“Forrester deeply understands CIM. As the only analyst report to date that has thoroughly analyzed and dissected the industry, it’s a real honor to be named a leader among the top vendors in the space, While the only true measurement of our success is the success of our customers, we still appreciate the recognition and believe our long-term strategy of being the global leader in channel engagement and business optimization is paying off now, and will continue to do so in the future.”
Jason Atkins, founder & CEO of 360insights
