 Welcome to JSA TV and JSA Podcasts. I'm Barb Mitchell coming to you today from PTC 2022. Joining me is Ben Edmund, founder and CEO of Connected to Fiber. So great to have you with us again today for JSA TV. It's great to be here. Thank you for the opportunity to talk today. I think most of our viewers I'm sure know you by now but for those who may not, could you just tell us a little bit about Connected to Fiber? Absolutely. Connected to Fiber is a software platform built specifically for the connectivity industry and what we do is help digitize and transform how the industry buys and sells. We provide location based insight to make that workflow better and you know primarily serve the service provider community throughout the world. And I think you've reached from my understanding a huge milestone and by huge we're talking billions. Can you talk about this milestone and the significance of it? Yeah we're pretty excited. We did an announcement in December really announcing 1.4 billion locations actively being managed in the platform today and what that means is the service provider community that owns the physical assets, buys the network elements are actively managing across 147 countries 1.4 billion locations. And 2021 was a huge year for you aside from this right? I mean Inc. $5,000, $12 million funding rounds, product enhancements etc etc the list goes on. Absolutely. Tell us some of this if you can. Tell us about 2021. Yeah we're really excited about you know just the progress of building the company, building the ecosystem you know Inc. 5,000 is one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S. We raised $12 million in our Series B. We added team members but really you know what it all boils down to is we're building a great platform with a connected ecosystem enabling simplicity and execution across how providers buy and sell and it's sorely needed. For the last 25 years people have been operating in spreadsheets and KMZ files and manual processes and we've created this cloud-based platform that really transforms how people do business. So could there be more? I mean we're sitting here it's the beginning of 2022. What's in store for connected to fiber as the year goes on? We have a lot of growth ahead of us. We are still in what I call early innings of building a platform. 2022 is going to come with unprecedented growth. We're gonna deliver more capabilities into the platform. We're up to 80 billion data points a month flowing in on our network intelligence. Yeah just to think of where we were last year at 11 billion data points a month, the year before at 1.3 billion data points a month, it really shapes you know a good understanding of who has what where and at that premise we're going to introduce prediction, we're going to introduce analytics that really continue to enhance our customer's ability to buy and sell. So for viewers who want to keep tabs on all this exciting amazing development and growth where can they go to learn more? Really the best place to go is our website www.connectedtofiber.com that is to is the digit fiber.com. You'll learn all about the platform, the company, our capabilities and you know watch for some exciting announcements coming later this month. So thank you so much Ben it's always a pleasure to chat with you. We're happy to see you in person here this year at VTC and thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV and JSA podcasts.
