Crowd Factory, an industry leader in Social Media ROI applications, all smiles today after being named to the AlwaysOn “OnDemand 100 Top Private Companies for 2011”.  AlwaysOn named Crowd Factory to the list in the Business Management Applications category.  And now a brief excerpt from the article:

AlwaysOn is excited to announce the 100 top, private on-demand and SaaS companies — plus 16 to watch — that are pioneers in cloud computing and SaaS.

AlwaysOn is proud to introduce the second annual OnDemand 100—the top emerging Internet companies disrupting the established enterprise and pioneering cloud computing and SaaS.

The AlwaysOn editorial team, along with partners at Morgan Stanley, KPMG, Hewlett-Packard, Blackstone Group, Bridge Bank, Fenwick & West, Silicon Valley Bank, and industry experts across the globe scoured the entrepreneurial community to identify the top 100 private companies that are taking old notions of data management, customer relationships, and infrastructure and forging solutions that will shake up the industry and lead to huge value creation opportunities.

“As the digital information created by businesses continues to explode at astronomical rates, the need to store, manage, socialize, and share this information is becoming extremely challenging,” says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “By providing innovative technologies that help enterprises better compete in this new era of information complexity and move their data out into the cloud, the OnDemand 100 represent some of the highest-growth opportunities in the private company marketplace.”

This year’s OnDemand 100 companies are leaders amongst their peers and developing game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to push outside the bounds of existing markets and away from entrenched players. Companies were selected based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.

Congratulations to all the 2011 OnDemand 100 winners. As the digital information created by businesses continues to explode at astronomical rates, OnDemand 100 companies are providing the technology platforms and services needed to manage and leverage this new era of information complexity and overload.

Tony Perkins is the founder and editor of AlwaysOn.
