We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: Harness has once again been named to Inc.’s 2025 Power Partners list, recognizing companies that go above and beyond to help their customers succeed.
This marks our second year in a row on the list — and while awards are always nice, this one feels special because it celebrates something deeper than technology. It’s about the relationships, trust, and collaboration that power real outcomes for our customers every day.
💡 Recognition that’s about impact, not just innovation
The Inc. Power Partners list celebrates companies that make a tangible difference for their customers. It’s not just about new technology; it’s about measurable outcomes – helping organizations deliver faster, operate more securely, and free their teams to focus on what matters most: building great software.
What I love most about my role at Harness is working side by side with our customers — listening, learning, and solving challenges together. Whether it’s Keller Williams, Ulta, or Deluxe, every partnership teaches us something new about how to make software delivery faster, safer, and simpler for the teams building the world’s most important digital experiences.
Our customers have cut test creation time from days to minutes, reduced manual toil by up to 80%, and increased deployment speed sixfold. These aren’t just performance metrics; they represent real people getting their time, confidence, and creative energy back.
🤝 Built on collaboration and trust
Partnership is at the center of everything we build. Most of our products and solutions have been shaped in close collaboration with our customers to solve their biggest challenges directly. Their insight, feedback, and honesty guide how we continue to evolve the platform to meet real-world needs.
That spirit of partnership is what makes this recognition meaningful. Our customers aren’t just users of the platform — they’re collaborators who shape it. Every product improvement, every new capability, every idea we test starts with their feedback and insight.
As Stephen Cihak, Senior Director of Cloud Platform at Choice Hotels, shared:
“Harness has been a true partner in every sense. The team listens, iterates, and works with us to find practical solutions that make a real difference. Their collaboration has strengthened the way we deliver software, helping us move faster and serve our own customers with greater confidence and excellence.”
🙌 A shared win with our customers and community
To every engineering, DevOps, and security team that has partnered with us: thank you. This recognition belongs to you as much as it does to us.
We’re proud to play a part in helping the world’s most innovative teams deliver software that moves their businesses forward. Together, we’re setting a new standard for speed, safety, reliability, and engineering excellence in software delivery.
