"Absolute's global sales and business development teams have worked strategically to build out the market for the company's SaaS-delivered IT security products, so this accolade is well deserved," said Carter McCrary, Chief Operating Officer of Absolute.
Added McCrary, "The go-to-market team has grown our contracted subscriber base by 110% over the last year, doubling the Company's subscriber base, without losing sight of delivering a world-class customer experience for our clients."
Key to the team's success is its tight integration with Absolute's marketing and customer service teams.
