The awards presentation capped off the Smartling Global Ready annual conference – an epic gathering of Smartling executives, customers, partners, and industry influencers – which took place March 15 in San Francisco.
Coursera, which hosts online courses from top universities, was awarded the Innovation Rockstar Award for the brand’s extensive usage of the Smartling API and its elegant integration. The company also was commended for its sharing of best practices within the Smartling user community.
Digital signature leader DocuSign was named the winner of the Adoption Rockstar Award for its development of a comprehensive program to deliver training for new corporate users and new hires.
Taking home the Growth Rockstar Award was cloud customer service technology vendor Zendesk. The company was praised for its rapid international expansion, having launched 6 new localized websites in its first 6 months with Smartling and 11 new language sites using Smartling’s Global Delivery Network.
Google was awarded the Partnership Rockstar Award for its efforts to develop and launch a unique program using Smartling’s platform that since launch, has provided newfound localization efficiencies for 50+ Google clients.
“We congratulate all our North America Customer Award winners,” said Jack Welde, Smartling co- founder and CEO. “These companies are blazing new trails in localization with their innovative use of the Smartling platform to support global growth and achieve their business goals.
