The 2023 Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Awards™ are given for work in Learning and Development, Talent Management, Talent Acquisition, Human Resources, Sales Enablement, Future of Work, and Education Technology.
Videate, a leader in innovative video technology, won a coveted Brandon Hall Group Gold award for excellence in the Best Advance in Business Automation category.
Videate’s win was announced on December 7, 2023. The winners are listed at https://excellenceawards.brandonhall.com/winners/.
One of the biggest indicators of customer retention is how engaged the customer is with the software. In the SaaS world, how-to videos are emerging as a critical tool for scaling Customer Success efforts for things like customer onboarding and product adoption. However, manually producing these videos is not scalable. Videate’s platform solves this challenge by automatically generating videos of their software, complete with human-like mouse movements, special effects, and AI voice narration in 70+ languages. Users are also able to set batch updates for entire video playlists that will automatically update their videos without additional effort.
Mark Hellinger, CEO of Videate, said,
“We’re honored to be recognized by Brandon Hall Group with a Gold award for the second year in a row. Our patented technology combines the best of AI and automation to create, update, and localize how-to videos at unparalleled speed.”
Brandon Hall Group Chief Operating Officer Rachel Cooke, leader of the Excellence Awards program, said,
"In our 30th year, the Excellence in Technology Awards continue to showcase the best innovations in learning, talent management, talent acquisition, HR, workforce management, and sales enablement technologies. We are proud to receive applications from a diverse range of organizations globally, reflecting the ever-evolving landscape of technology solutions."
Entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts, and executives based upon these criteria: fit the need, program design, functionality, innovation, and overall measurable benefits.
Excellence Award winners are scheduled to be honored at Brandon Hall Group's HCM Excellence Conference, February 13-15, 2024, at the Hilton West Palm Beach, Florida. Select winners also will serve as presenters in breakout sessions, sharing their leading practices during the conference.
"Our awards program is distinguished by the thorough evaluation process led by industry experts. Judges meticulously score each entry, and our executive leadership team at Brandon Hall Group reviews and validates the judging and scoring. The level of the award is solely determined by the number of points, ensuring a fair and unbiased recognition of excellence in technology," said Brandon Hall Group Chief Executive Officer Mike Cooke.
