This award recognizes those companies that go beyond simply delivering technology to working with clients to ensure that both the technology and knowledge processes are embedded into the work processes, to help organizations realize positive business results. Heartland Payment Systems® has deployed StreetSmarts® across their distributed workforce of over 1,500 to allow end users to leverage their collective expertise from anywhere and anytime via email, a web browser or a mobile device.

Heartland has reduced the ramp up time for new hires, improved sales performance across an indirect sales force and reduced the operating costs of supporting these distributed operations. They have achieved this in a manner that drives high adoption and contributes to tangible business results.
