Domo Named 2012 Startup of the Year by the Business Intelligence Group

PHILADELPHIA and SILICON SLOPES, Utah — October 1, 2012— Domo was named Startup of the Year for 2012 by The Business Intelligence Group, hosts of the 2012 BIG Awards.  Domo was awarded for its new approach to business intelligence and for the momentum it has experienced in attracting top talent, investors and customers. 

 

“We are honored to be recognized for our initiative in helping customers finally get value from the billions of dollars spent collecting and storing information about their business,” said Josh James, Domo founder and CEO. “The investment and talent we’ve attracted has accelerated our ability to capitalize on this untapped opportunity and address pain points that are universal to executives across every industry and in every role.”

 

“The cloud is certainly helping business become more efficient which is important in this economy, but Domo is taking it one step further by offering executives the chance to really see inside their operation by bringing together their data all in one place,” said Russ Fordyce, managing director of The Business Intelligence Group. “Domo is aiming to remove the barriers to data access so nearly any size company, or any executive, can have the tools and visibility they need to compete in the global marketplace.”
