USA switches which only take up a couple of rack units of space ,” Todd explains . “ Communications has transitioned so much , whether you started out as a phone company or a cable company . It ’ s all blending into an IP-based offering and continues to move at a very fast pace in that direction .”
Todd attributes the success of keeping up with that fast pace to his team : “ We have some brilliant folks on staff that are truly experts in what we do . They are constantly involved in working with our vendors to look at what is going to be available in the near future , how that fits in with the services we currently offer , and how it would be utilized or implemented . It ’ s a constant effort , not something you can do once and feel good about it for a few years . Today , you don ’ t buy a switch that lasts 20 years – you forecast for five years hoping that you ’ ll get three-and-a-half .”
Todd also has a very strong executive management team , with whom he holds monthly meetings to ensure communication flows at all times : “ I think it ’ s really important that whether you ’ re in charge of finance and accounting , regulatory , marketing , sales , or operations , everybody is on the same page .”
