The CCBV Awards program was launched in this year to recognize Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers delivering tangible business benefits to specific user organizations. These benefits include lower costs, faster deployment times, greater profitability, etc.
The CCBV Award program builds on the success of THINKstrategies' Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program which was initiated in 2009.

KANA has used WaveMaker to develop and deliver its KANA 10 call center solution, and enabling end users to do self-service customization of their application.

In addition, the WaveMaker platform has enabled KANA to port its solution to Amazon Web Services (AWS) in only 2 weeks.
It is for these reasons that WaveMaker has been named a Cloud Computing Business Value Award winner by THINKstrategies.
