This year is the first year that Connext Global Solutions landed on the list of Hawaii’s 50 Fastest Growing Private Companies. Despite a year of chaos and uncertainty, Connext managed to grow 69% and is projecting a similar growth rate in 2021 and beyond.
In response to questions by Pacific Business News, Director of Client Services, Taylor Goucher said:
What contributed to your growth in the past two years?
Our growth over the last two years has been largely attributed to employee and talent shortages for small and mid-sized businesses as well as a need to improve processes and reduce costs because of operational issues caused by COVID.
Where do you see opportunities for growth next year?
There are a ton of opportunities for growth in automation and digital transformation for all industries, but specifically in healthcare, real estate, and distribution. Covid has caused all businesses to think differently about their processes, their workforce, and their operations which has forced many to accelerate their timeline to incorporate automation tools and improve processes. We are working hard to create the capability to provide Hawaii businesses access to certain automation tools such as robot process automation and artificial intelligence to help them with this transition.
How worried are you about Covid-related policies impacting your business?
We are most worried about our clients, especially those in the hospitality and tourism industry. During the initial lockdown, a lot of our clients had to downsize their teams because of the restrictions. We are always here to support and enable the growth of our clients, but certain Covid related policies are making that much more challenging.
Connext is continuing to display exciting growth and looks to grow both it’s team and client base over the next few years. For more on this special honor, check out the article here.
