What’s in a decade?

Ten years may be considered a long time—or not—depending on your perspective. For a child, a decade is an eternity, encompassing their journey from early school years to the brink of adulthood. For an established company, it’s a chapter rich with experiences and growth, a testament to endurance and evolution. As we celebrate our tenth anniversary, we reflect on what these years have meant for us, both as a business and as a family of dedicated individuals.

?

Each year builds upon the last, with layers of hard-earned wisdom and insights that shape the path forward. For us at CMA, these ten years have produced a wealth of collective experiences and accumulated knowledge through a journey of hard work, dedication, and grit. These qualities are the core ingredients of our success, enabling us to navigate challenges, and seize opportunities with resilience and determination.

?

When we started, we were just two employees working out of a single office. Today, we proudly serve over 1,000 clients from three office locations, and our team has grown to 25 talented individuals. This transformation didn't happen overnight. It was the result of unwavering focus and a commitment to excellence. We began with a focus on small businesses in Norway, understanding their unique needs and providing tailored solutions. This initial success laid the foundation for us to expand our reach and expertise, eventually achieving greater success across Europe within the larger business segment.

?

Trust is the cornerstone of any successful business relationship, and at CMA, we are immensely proud of the trust we have built with our clients. This trust is not given lightly; it is earned through consistent performance, reliability, and the genuine care we show for our clients' success. We take this responsibility seriously, striving every day to live up to the confidence our clients place in us.

?

As we look to the future, we are excited about the new technologies on the horizon, particularly our advancements in AI. These innovations will play a crucial role in enhancing Canvas, our integration platform as a service (iPaaS). Our goal is to make Canvas even more accessible to those with little or no coding experience, bringing better data flow and automation to more people and businesses. This democratization of technology is a key focus for us, ensuring that the benefits of advanced integration are within reach for all our clients, regardless of their technical expertise.

?

Our journey over the past decade would not have been possible without the trust and loyalty of our customers. They have been our partners, our advocates, and our inspiration. We are deeply grateful for their continued support and belief in our vision. Similarly, we owe a great debt of gratitude to our owners and investors, such as the Amesto Group, whose support and patience have been invaluable. Their backing has provided us with the stability and confidence to innovate and grow.

?

Equally important are our employees, whose contributions, loyalty, focus, and tenacity are the heartbeat of CMA. Each member of our team brings unique skills, curiosity and perspectives, and it is their collective effort that drives our success. We are fortunate to have such a dedicated group of professionals who are passionate about what they do and committed to our shared goals.

?

Looking ahead, what can you expect from CMA in the coming years? First and foremost, we will continue to prioritize great customer experiences. Our clients' satisfaction is paramount, and we will strive to exceed their expectations at every turn. We are also focused on enhancing our iPaaS solution, making it more adaptable for non-developers to build and maintain their integrations. This user-centric approach will empower more businesses to harness the power of automation and data integration, driving efficiency and innovation.

?

Our plans for continued international expansion reflect our ambition to bring CMA's solutions to a broader audience. We believe that our unique combination of technology and dedicated service can benefit businesses around the world, and we are committed to exploring new markets and opportunities. Finally, we remain dedicated to sharing our knowledge and expertise to solve even the most complex integrations. By fostering a culture of learning and collaboration, we aim to lead the way in our industry and help our clients navigate the evolving technological landscape.

?

As we celebrate our ten-year milestone, we invite you to stay tuned for the next chapter of our journey. The past decade has been marked by growth, learning, and achievement, and we are excited about what the future holds. Thank you for being a part of our story. Together, we will continue to reach new heights and create lasting value for our clients and partners.

Here’s to the next ten years and beyond!?
