Women aren't only starting businesses. They are staying in business.
Connex celebrates 30 years! Meeting technologies may have changed, but clients' objectives remain the same.
DANBURY, Conn., June 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Remember the 80's? Big hair, Dynasty and Hill Street Blues ruled, E.T. made us cry, and gas was just $.92/gallon. For Connex Intl, it was the beginning of providing conferencing solutions, when few people could have imagined exactly what meeting technologies and platforms would look like in the year 2012. But it's not the advance in conferencing technologies that has driven the 3 decades of success for this CT-based company.
"There's no denying that state-of-the-art technologies are important. But what we never forget is our focus on people – knowing that at each end of a meeting, whether on the phone or online, is a person," comments Debora Volansky, owner and CEO of Connex, the nation's oldest privately held conferencing company. "Traditionally, the 30th anniversary is symbolized by the pearl, a great metaphor for what we do. Just as each pearl is unique, every business has its own meeting style. At Connex, we take that potential point of irritation, a remote meeting, and envelop it with solutions to create something truly valuable," Volansky said.
Connex is also proud of its woman-owned heritage. According to a report by the Center for Women's Business Research, majority-women-owned companies generate over $2.8 trillion annually and employ more than 23 million people. These facts enforce that women-owned companies are not a small, niche market but are a major contributor and player in the overall economy.
"We have a great company, with great clients and with a 30 year track record of proven results," Volansky says. "The fact that we are among the many successful woman-owned companies that continue to help support our economy is like icing on the cake."
To celebrate their anniversary, Connex invites everyone to share their "Pearls of Wisdom". These are original thoughts, favorite quotes, or mottos to live and work by. Visit http://www.connexintl.com/Pearls.aspx to submit one today.
