With the help of Wells Fargo’s Technology Banking Group, CommandLink circumvented traditional growth routes and charted its own course.

CommandLink founder and CEO, Jason Ness, says he was never concerned about his now-mature company’s viability. Betting on himself, his confidence and faith in a well-thought-out plan was fueled by his mindset of rapid growth.

Since becoming CEO in 2018, Ness says hyperscaling has been one of the most important concepts for the business’ success.

“Hyperscaling is growing faster every single year in a very material way,” explained Ness. “So, if you’re growing by $10 million this year, you’ve got to grow by $20 million next year, and then the next year you need to grow by $50 million. That maniacal focus on hyperscale is an obsession and a challenge that must permeate through an entire organization.”

Founded in 2012, CommandLink is at the forefront of transforming how enterprises manage their IT infrastructure by unifying global internet (ISP), software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN), Secure Access Server Edge (SASE), network security, and cloud-based communication solutions into one seamless platform.

As a fully integrated service and SaaS platform, CommandLink empowers IT teams to manage their operations through streamlined workflows, automation, and a single pane of glass interface.  This integration eliminates the need for multiple vendors, dramatically reduces complexity, and cuts costs. IT teams gain efficiency by automating processes, enhancing visibility, and transforming technology from an operational expense into a strategic profit driver.

“We’re revolutionizing telecom; we’re revolutionizing the network,” Ness said. “We’re revolutionizing corporate IT and we’re creating a new category.”

In the early phases of hyperscaling, Ness warned of a mistake many executives often make: allowing known problem areas to linger in hopes of resolution.
