Our Story

From Telecom Roots to Managed Intelligence

What started with a single Asterisk PBX in 2007 has evolved into an end-to-end technology operating partner. The mission hasn't changed — the ambition has.

The Audian Evolution

In 2007, Brandon Bazemore configured his first Asterisk PBX system — a scrappy, open-source alternative to the overpriced telecom incumbents. By 2013, that hands-on approach became Audian Inc, a company built on the belief that business technology should be simple, responsive, and accountable.

We grew by solving one problem at a time: voice, then networking, then security, then cloud. Each layer added because our clients needed it — never because we were chasing a trend. When AI emerged as a force multiplier, we didn't outsource it. We built the engineering capability in-house, so every AI system runs on infrastructure we also manage and protect.

Today, Audian is a Human-First Managed Intelligence Provider — a new category we're defining at the intersection of managed infrastructure and AI engineering.
