Hootsuite, Electronic Arts Inc. and Clio are the top three performers throughout the region, according to聽.
Nudge ultimately crunched the numbers to come up with a list of 50 companies that are the best at making links to the outside world.
Firms ranging in size and reach round out the top 10.
鈥淵ou don鈥檛 just want the bigger companies to automatically bubble up to the top,鈥� Woods said.
鈥淪o if you have small companies that are very well connected, they will move up the rankings disproportionate with their size.鈥�

Nudge鈥檚 software specializes in helping sales reps with outreach for potential clients.
The rankings were based on what the software revealed about the strength of connections at companies, such as the number of connections to outside firms and the breadth of those connections.
鈥淒o 10 different people know the same one individual? That鈥檚 less interesting than 10 people knowing 10 individuals,鈥� Woods said.
鈥淭he companies that are best set up for success are the ones that have put in place the philosophies and the system, the encouragement to enable their teams to build that web of relationships.鈥�
