The CEO's Blog

SignalWire was only opened to the public in 2018, so it’s a tiny part of this 10-year story, but it is the culmination of all of the experiences that made it possible. Many of the ideas I’ve been working on can finally be realized and we can, at last, add Software-Defined Telecom to the list of ways that digital transformation simplifies business and eliminates the need for heavy expensive ancient physical communications technology.

In the last 20 years we've made amazing strides in the digital transformation of many things.  One of the last frontiers to be fully realized is the telecommunications industry.  The founders of SignalWire started on this journey even before the company started by laying the groundwork for the technology going back to 2005.

Reflecting on over 20 years of online technology, I feel there is no more important concept that has emerged than the API.
