"Working for Interactive Intelligence makes me realize how lucky I am. I've worked at other companies before who make promises as to how great they are to work for, but Interactive Intelligence has actually proven it to me! After 20 years in the workforce, I can finally say that I love the company I work for!”
-Janet, Corporate Marketing
"I joined ININ in June 2000 as a trainee engineer. Interactive Intelligence has given me new challenges and roles every year. Now I am regional services Manager in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa). I don’t think this would have been possible in any other company in such a short period of time. Interactive Intelligence is really a performance based equal opportunity company"
-Shahzad, Regional Services Manager
"In 1994 I left a software company that was about to go public – a company that I had started with my own money – in order to found Interactive Intelligence. I did so because I truly believed there was a revolution coming in business communications and I wanted to be part of it. The early years were tough. Imagine trying to sell a Windows NT-based ‘unified’ communications system against Lucent, Nortel and the other legacy telecom giants. Back in ‘95, ‘96 and ‘97, people said it would never work and would never sell. Well, more than a decade later, the world looks a lot different! We’ve sold thousands of systems. Gartner has declared the PBX dead. And the telecom giants like Siemens and Nortel don’t look quite so tall. In fact, the same competitors that derided our system back then have been scrambling in an effort to piece together multi-vendor products and re-label them as ‘unified’ in a desperate attempt to play catch up.
Since 1997, however, we haven’t looked back. With an industry-leading rate of investment in R&D and a torrid revenue growth rate exceeding 30 percent, we’re now widely recognized as the leader in high-end IP contact center automation and enterprise IP telephony. Building on our unique, standards-based, software platform, we’ve moved on to SIP and numerous other sophisticated technologies, and continue to aggressively raise the bar in the areas of security and scalability. Our technology innovation, combined with a proven track record -- today backed by more than 3,000 global customers and 300 value-added resellers around the world – give even the largest organizations an alternative when selecting between start-up vendors offering ‘bleeding-edge’ solutions, and the legacy dinosaurs that have simply put new names on the same old proprietary systems. To all those customers who believed in us during the early days, I want to extend my deepest gratitude. And to all those customers we've yet to win, I invite you to share in our vision of a modern, streamlined enterprise software solution instead of the complicated tangle of proprietary devices offered by the rest of the pack." -Dr. Donald E. Brown, President and CEO, Interactive Intelligence Inc., January 2008
