Our Achievements

Audian Through the Years

Feb, 2007

It's the dawn of the business VoIP revolution and Brandon Bazemore and Pramod Venugopal start to put together the first production phone system based on Asterisk. The system runs on a small rack-mounted 1U server about the size of a pizza box, and uses an adapter to integrate with a standard T1/PRI. This reduces the complexity and cost of the normal phone system by over 60% and allows for the use of standard SIP phones.

Aug, 2010

The first installation of a multi-state phone system for a large financial company necessitates a move to the "cloud" from the familiar server installed in the closet. With the advent of higher speed internet, we are now able to leverage the stability and speed to reduce what was once a multi-site fragmented system into a very streamlined and centralized system.

Oct, 2013

Janae Smith joins the company and we incorporate as "Persephone", with a new focus on hosted telecom and becoming the leader in SERVICE based telecommunications. Our goal is to redefine the normally contentious relationship between client and company by providing the best customer service in the industry.

May, 2014

We open our new Headquarters in Kirkland, Washington that doubles our square footage and gives us a centralized location to grow and expand.

Dec, 2014

With year over year growth at 430%, the first year of Business is a great success. More importantly, we are able to hire the top ranked provisioning and support rep from a competitor, Kyle VanHuizen. Kyle is instrumental in the continued growth and universally loved by our clients.

Aug, 2015

Audian announces a brand-new portal and phone system for use by clients. The portal allows for simple and easy drag and drop style management of the phone system that drastically increases the ease of use by businesses. This portal is light years ahead of the competition, and along with our focus on customer service, our clients are able to manage the system themselves.

Jan, 2016
