 Welcome to JSA TV where we're covering the latest stories trends and innovations from leaders in digital infrastructure, the channel and the networks within. I'm Allison Wheeling coming to you live from Channel Partners 2024 here in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada. And joining me today is Kevin Francis from CCI Networks. Kevin, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for having me today. Of course, and it's been nice being neighbors with you. They're right next door to us the whole show. So for our viewers who may not know, can you tell them a little bit more about CCI Networks? Yeah, CCI like to, you know, look at them as like, it's the gem. It's the diamond in the rough. We've been around for over 21 years. We're headquartered in downtown Salt Lake. We're a voice and internet carrier. And we have a lot of other products and services that we layer on those services as well. But yeah, we're kind of this little, cool little gem. And we will help the customers with their internet and their voice and really help them with reducing their costs so that we can open up their budget for other projects that we can assist with. Yeah, freeing up budget for growth and even more. Oh, yeah, that's that's key is a lot of times they it wants those, you know, the new shiny carrot, but they can't get it because they don't have the budget and help it make that happen. Amen. Yes. Well, we're here channel partners and I know you guys have had some new wholesale partners recently. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Yeah, we've partnered with two companies that we feel that are going to be a game changer, not only for us, but game changer for all of our trusted advisors. You know, you're talking to your customers already about internet and SD WAN and and now we've got voice but and they're doing the contact centers. But the two partners that we're bringing on is one meta. They're a voice over the phone interpretation company and then graphene networks, who is an MSP and they're powering all of our SD WAN for us. And it's more of a consultative approach. We're not just going to sell this product. We're going to find out which product works best for how the customer wants it to work. Right. And one meta is helping us assist our customers with language barriers. So you may have customers in a different language and you don't have a way to have a full conversation. And with this verb and call CCI verb and call, it allows the customer and their client, our customer and their customer to be able to have a full conversation in two different languages. Wow. It's incredible enabling communication and breaking down language barriers. Oh my gosh. And it's really, you know, we've had a few people over and we've shown them and they're just their facial expressions is awesome. I was like, what just happened? Last night I was showing it to a gentleman and he spoke Japanese and we had a full conversation. I'm speaking English and he's speaking Japanese and then when well calls done, I showed him, I logged into the portal and I showed him the transcription of our entire phone call. And he's going, not only are we doing translation, but we're doing the transcription as well. Yeah. That's absolutely incredible. That's a lot of value there and that's really for any industry, right? Oh, you know, in a lot of the government and schools, there is a mandate out there that those schools have to speak the language of the parent. So now, you know, with our open borders and we have all these different children that are going to schools, but their parents don't know how to speak English. And because of the mandate from the government that that school now has to talk that language, we now have a solution for them. And there's no internet, no app. It's just a phone number. That's beautiful. Right? Yes. Enabling so much more communication and connectivity there. Oh, it's, it's, and it's really fun to watch people see it happen. It's really great to break down that barrier and help the customer because a lot of the customers, the problem that they're having is trying to find a human translator. Right. The long hold times and then the cost for that human translator. Right. And you don't know when you'll need it, right? Right. So you might need it in five minutes. You might need it in an hour, but if you can have it on demand. Yes. More power. Amen. Well, it sounds like you guys are doing absolutely incredible things. I've seen the booth busy the entire time. I know service support and savings are kind of the theme that we've been hearing about you guys throughout the show. So for viewers who aren't here and can't meet with you right now, where can they go to learn more schedule meeting with you in the future? Well, Kevin, thank you so much for joining us. It's great chatting with you. And to our viewers, thank you so much for tuning in coming to you live from Channel Partners 2024. Until next time, happy networking.
