on its list.
The Forbes America's Best Small Companies ranking features firms with
remarkable sales and earnings growth in a host of industries, according

"Our inclusion for the second year running among Forbes Top 20 Small
Public Companies in America affirms our continued customer-focused
approach with an emphasis on long-term value," said Interactive
Intelligence founder and CEO, Dr. Donald E. Brown. "This approach has
spurred significant demand for our cloud-based contact center offering
and it's fueling an ever-increasing number of sales to the very largest
global enterprises."
Interactive Intelligence develops business
communications software that provides contact center automation and
unified communications functionality for mid-size to large
organizations. The company's software can be deployed on-premise or in
