We're a comprehensive technology infrastructure company providing network and cloud services, management and support solutions, and professional services to our partners and clients. Our Provider Partners Our history as a company is long and varied, and as with any story like this, not without its bumps in the road. Even so, the perseverance of our team and the loyalty of our partners and clients have allowed us to grow and prosper. A lot has happened in the last 20 or so years, and while we celebrate our victories, we also appreciate that our less-than-shining moments have taught us things that make us the company we are today. Since we've started, we have built a network of partners that work with us to offer solutions from dozens of carriers to thousands of clients. And we're proud to say that not only do we still have our original partners agents working with us, we've had a lot of fun along the way. It all dates back to 1994, when Josh Anderson left the University of Florida to start CDSI, an IT company that specialized in software-based PBX systems and custom IVR applications. These systems were the grandparents of today’s sophisticated IP-PBXs. With telecom deregulation in 1996, the CLEC market exploded, and by the late 90’s the newly competitive market allowed us to bundle voice and data services with hardware, providing a total solution. CDSI was soon making as much money doing carrier service consulting as selling CPE. Things were off to a promising start.
