OUR STORY
Our history as a company is long and varied, and as with any story like this, not without its bumps in the road. Even so, the perseverance of our team and the loyalty of our partners and clients have allowed us to grow and prosper. A lot has happened in the last 20 or so years, and while we celebrate our victories, we also appreciate that our less-than-shining moments have taught us things that make us the company we are today.
Almost two decades of history.
Our history as a company is long and varied, and as with any story like this, not without its bumps in the road. Even so, the perseverance of our team and the loyalty of our partners and clients have allowed us to grow and prosper. A lot has happened in the last 20 or so years, and while we celebrate our victories, we also appreciate that our less-than-shining moments have taught us things that make us the company we are today.
Since we've started, we have built a network of partners that work with us to offer solutions from dozens of carriers to thousands of clients. And we're proud to say that not only do we still have our original partners agents working with us, we've had a lot of fun along the way.

1994
CDSI is founded
It all dates back to 1994, when Josh Anderson left the University of Florida to start CDSI, an IT company that specialized in software-based PBX systems and custom IVR applications. These systems were the grandparents of today’s sophisticated IP-PBXs.

1996
Deregulation ushers in a new era
With telecom deregulation in 1996, the CLEC market exploded, and by the late 90’s the newly competitive market allowed us to bundle voice and data services with hardware, providing a total solution. CDSI was soon making as much money doing carrier service consulting as selling CPE. Things were off to a promising start.

2002
Telephony Partners is founded
After a year of talks, the deal was finalized and Telephony Partners was formally established. With a core network of partners, we went to work building the business. The first few years were spectacular. As sad as it is to say, doing business ethically was at the time a huge differentiator.

2007
Apple releases the iPhone (?)

2008
We win 2nd in Flugtag
Team Air Gilligan, comprised of Telephony Partners employees and spouses, wins 2nd place at Redbull Flugtag in Tampa, FL, flying a biplane made of aluminum tubing, styrofoam, and pallet wrap an admittedly short distance into the water. This remains one of our proudest achievements.

2008
Google releases the Android mobile OS

2012
We begin a pivot to Mobility Managed Services

2014
We become Acuity Technologies
Telephony Partners and its infrastructure management division, The Moya Group, become Acuity Technologies, incorporating Moya's service set into Telephony Partners' strong partner channel. Side benefit — we no longer have to explain how to spell or pronounce "telephony."

2017
AcuityVOIP, our carrier sister company, is founded

2022
Our AMI software platform is released
Who We Are
Any company can have policies and procedures, high-tech tools, and flashy marketing. In the end, it's the people that make the difference. At Acuity Technologies, we know our people are responsible for our success. Their resourcefulness and commitment to doing the job right is the reason we still get to do what we do.
Keep the meet a few of them, but instead of the executive summaries like that, maybe we do a bento box style collage with the rotating pictures that when clicked show a bio? Any way to have this be database-driven so we can add/remove people and have the design automatically adjust?

Matt was born and raised in Schenectady, NY. He relocated Tampa, FL in 2010 after finishing his studies at the University of Albany. Matt has a passion for finance and technology which he applies to his daily life at Acuity. In his spare time, you can find him enjoying the beautiful Florida weather with his wife, Chantal and Mini Pomeranian, Meeko. Matt is also an AVID Dallas Cowboys and fantasy football fan.

Brian brings over 10 years of financial management experience and has held a number of SEC Reporting and Accounting positions with leading private-equity sponsored and public companies.

Outside of the office, Brian enjoys giving back to the community through his church and going to the beach as often as possible.

Prior to joining the team, Courtney was the Telecom Technical Director for the 8th Largest CPA firm whom acquired her Telecom Audit and Consulting practice. Courtney has owned and operated 5 businesses, 4 of which were built from the ground up within the Telecommunications industry. Courtney’s life purpose is to remove all barriers and bias creating a world of hope, love and success by inspiring others to reach their goals and dreams through sharing her experiences and gift of influence one small impactful interaction at a time.

She gives back to the community as a sponsor, mentor and coach for women and children suffering from addiction, domestic violence, or other life-threatening circumstances.

Josh is the founder and CEO of Acuity Technologies. Without bills tying him down (and not knowing any better), he left college early to start his first company, CDSI. Several years and many mistakes later, Acuity Technologies (née Telephony Partners) was born. Josh is an instrument-rated private pilot, an avid road biker, amateur motorcycle racer, and thoroughly enjoys his coffee addiction (that's the sound you often hear if you call our offices around 2pm).
What makes us different
In one word–partnership.
We know—everyone talks about "partnership," but six months later you’re on a cadence call asking tough questions and it’s crickets. For us, it’s not just a buzzword. It’s the foundation of everything we do.
So, what does it mean to be as trategic partner?
For starters, it’s not just about doing the heavy lifting cheaper or faster (although we’ve got that part covered). It’s about getting into the nitty-gritty of your business—the goals, the challenges, and the opportunities—and figuring out how to make our corner of the IT world help drive your success.
That means asking tough questions. It means digging into the“why”behind your initiatives. And yes, sometimes it means challenging the way things have always been done. We’re not afraid of a spirited debate if it gets us to the best possible solution for your business.
Mobile platforms are at the heart of how work gets done today, and they’re key to keeping your teams productive and your operations efficient. Maximizing the value of that infrastructure isn’t just about keeping the lights on—it’s about helping you hit your big-picture goals.
It helps that we’re also really good at what we do.
Unlike those glorified reporting tools (you’ve heard the TEM pitch before), we take a hands-on approach to managing and optimizing our clients’mobile environments. Our software isn’t just there to give you reports; it’s built to actively automate, tune, and refine—because your business deserves more than just a status update.
Why does all this matter to us?
Because this kind of work is what keeps us inspired. Innovation is baked into our culture, and we’re obsessed with finding new ways to add value. But the real magic happens when we get to see how our work helps our clients thrive.
That’s why we show up every day ready to hustle, sweat the details, and think strategically. It’s about creating partnerships that are built to last—and having fun solving problems together along the way.
Ready to work with a partner who’s all in? Let’s talk.
Partnerships
Our solutions are enhanced by several key partnerships that empower us to provide critical mobility-focused products and services. We’ve chosen these partners carefully–they represent the best in the industry.
