The ARMOR® service has won a Gold Stevie® Award for New Service of the Year in Communication Technology. Judges cited ARMOR®'s combination of testing, monitoring, and carrier remediation as a rare, well-evidenced answer to a costly industry problem. The ARMOR® service has helped clear over 200,000 spam flags for more than 1,000 clients since 2024.
Recognized as New Service of the Year in Communication Technology
The ARMOR® service has been named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award in the New Service of the Year - Communication Technology category in the third annual Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence.
The Stevie Awards are widely recognized as the world's premier business awards. This year's technology program received more than 700 nominations from organizations of all sizes across 37 nations. More than 180 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process.
Every year, more than 50 billion calls are flagged as spam. When carriers get it right, everyone benefits. But when they get it wrong, it costs legitimate businesses conversations, reputation, and revenue. 81% of businesses report losing revenue to spam flags.
Wanted calls from doctors, lawyers, support teams, sales reps, and service providers are blocked or mislabeled before anyone has a chance to pick up. Most organizations have limited visibility into when it's happening or why. As one judge noted: "This is a real problem, and hardly anyone is fixing it."
The ARMOR® service is filling that gap. It combines real-subscriber testing, proactive monitoring, direct carrier remediation and call deliverability analytics in one managed solution, giving organizations visibility into why calls are connecting, underperforming, or being mislabeled.
Since launching in June 2024, the platform has grown to serve more than 1,000 clients and has helped clear more than 200,000 spam flags across Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. The service is fully technology-agnostic, working alongside any dialer, carrier, or CRM, and serves organizations across insurance, finance, healthcare, education, automotive, and call center operations.
The Gold Stevie follows back-to-back SAMMY Awards from Business Intelligence Group, where ARMOR® earned recognition in the Growth Catalyst category for Insights and Analysis, plus an MSP Today Product of the Year award. The ARMOR® team includes veterans of AT&T, Hiya, First Orion, and T-Mobile who bring firsthand knowledge of how carrier systems score, flag, and filter calls.

Judges called the nomination "a highly focused and well-evidenced submission solving a real, costly telecom problem with clear market demand." They highlighted the combination of testing, analytics, monitoring, remediation, and expert guidance as a model that is "difficult to replicate." One judge noted that one ARMOR® executive's membership in the USTelecom Working Group "is as close to third-party validation as it gets."
"Winning a Gold Stevie is a meaningful milestone for our team and our clients," said Chris Sorensen, CEO. "Call deliverability is still a new concept for a lot of organizations, and this kind of recognition reinforces that the problem is real and that the ARMOR® approach is working."

More than 50 billion calls are flagged as spam every year. When carriers assign spam flags to legitimate calls from legitimate businesses, important calls get ignored and businesses suffer. 81% of businesses report losing revenue to spam flags. Most businesses lack visibility into the flagging, the reasons behind it, and what to do to preserve long term number reputation.
