Q: What is Connected2Fiber? Could you tell us Connected2Fiber’s startup story?
A: Connected2Fiber is a SaaS platform for market enablement in the connectivity industry. Our platform was built to solve the lack of asset and market transparency in the telecom industry, a massive $330 billion market. We believe that understanding asset and market across the entire organization, and enabling people to take action with that data in the formats and time that customers want will lead to improvements in revenue and customer satisfaction. We started the business in 2015 and have launched our core platform and 3 modules to date and continue to build more features and more modules.

Q: Could you please give us more insights into your services and your SaaS platform?
A: Our services focus on delivering a software platform, Connected World, to network operators so they can visualize, manage, and share their location and route data, in context to the market. Understanding what kind of buildings, the tenants inside, where key interconnection points are, all matter in the world of fiber and our SaaS platform makes it easy to navigate. Our Building Manager module allows network operators to manage their relationship with the commercial real estate locations they connect. Activities like building access agreements, or using riser cables, are tracked and shared within our platform to enable the organization to have a single view of their connected buildings and the relevant details needed to manage the connectivity. Our Building List Manager module allows users to create OnNet building lists, format those lists automatically to different industry standard structures, such as AT&T, CenturyLink, Level 3, Verizon and more and the program the automatic distribution and updates to those lists based on categories of building types, geographic areas or a combination of everything.

Q: What are the biggest benefits for network owners?
A: The biggest benefits for network owners is that they sell more, and then sell with greater velocity. Having their entire team understanding not only where their fiber is, and what it is connected to, but understanding the market data and triggers that drive new network and pushing that information to the channel and enterprises accelerates the market.
