REDWOOD SHORES, CA--(Marketwired - December 03, 2013) - Avangate, the leading Customer Centric Commerce solution provider trusted by thousands of Software and Cloud Services companies to grow their business worldwide, today announced that it has been selected as one of "Red Herring 100 Global Winners" of 2013. The award recognizes the leading private companies from North America, Europe and Asia today, and celebrates innovation and technology advancements across industries.

For Avangate, this global recognition follows the Red Herring European Top 100 Award in 2012 and demonstrates the company's growing market traction and commitment to client success.

"The Cloud is fundamentally changing the way business is getting done across channels, touchpoints and business models," said Carl Theobald, Chief Executive Officer, Avangate. "We are clearly in an exciting place, providing our clients not only with the necessary commerce platform but also with knowledge and support to help them take advantage of this wave of change, focus on their end-customers and accelerate revenue growth worldwide. I am very pleased that Avangate is on the Global Top 100 winners list as this further validates our vision and strategic direction."

The Red Herring editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of companies relative to their peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new companies around the world.

"After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across the globe to the Top 100 Winners and the competition was the strongest it has ever been. We believe Avangate embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring.
