Founded in 2007, Calabrio provides products and services to help companies streamline and enhance customer service operations and workforce management through cloud-first software solutions.

“It has never been as important for companies to understand the customer and employee experience through data. Calabrio is committed to delivering our analytics-driven Calabrio ONE suite in order to empower agents, elevate the role of the contact center and connect the enterprise,” said Tom Goodmanson, President and CEO of Calabrio. “I look forward to the software expertise and like-minded partnership of the Thoma Bravo team to help us take these ambitions to even greater heights.”
