Our three tenets of Simplicity, Speed, and Service remain our three core values, and keep us fiercely aligned on our greatest assets, our clients.
Located in the Pacific Northwest, but with clients around the world, our US-based agents are local and extremely responsive. Our mission is to be an extension of your business, whether it is for high level strategy, or as your IT department, phone company, or networking department. We focus on one-call resolution and recognize that time is an incredibly important asset.

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.
