Fort Lauderdale, FL – May 30, 2025 — In response to shifting economic pressures and evolving entrepreneurial demands, Connecting the Dots has announced a strategic refocus, realigning its services to better support small and mid-sized businesses navigating today’s complex operating environment.
Founded in 2016, the Florida-based company originally launched as a strategic consulting and partnership firm. Over time, market demand led to its growing reputation as a data and compliance provider. Now, nearly a decade later, Connecting the Dots is reemphasizing its foundational mission: helping businesses grow by streamlining operations and strengthening back-end support.
“The business landscape has changed dramatically since we started,” said Ed Pain, CEO of Connecting the Dots. “While data remains part of our core offering, we’ve broadened our services to meet what entrepreneurs are actually asking for: sustainable, scalable support that goes beyond analytics.”
The company’s renewed focus includes a suite of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) solutions, including nearshore and fractional staffing options. These services aim to reduce operational overhead by offering skilled professionals—ranging from data entry specialists to executive-level talent—at significantly lower costs than traditional in-house hiring.
This shift is particularly timely, as small and mid-sized companies across the U.S. report increased pressure to do more with limited resources.
Recognizing that technology also plays a central role in operational efficiency, Connecting the Dots recently introduced an AI-powered business platform. The tool integrates lead management, customer follow-up, calendar coordination, social media oversight, and website design—features traditionally spread across multiple systems—into a unified dashboard designed for ease of use and scale.
The expanded service offerings now include:
Industries currently served include:
Despite its broadened portfolio, the company maintains its commitment to data compliance and security—a foundation that continues to guide its approach to every new solution.
“We’ve seen firsthand how many business owners are stretched thin, trying to manage every aspect of their operations,” said Pain.
“Our goal is to bridge the gap between strategy and execution, allowing leaders to focus on growth instead of getting stuck in the weeds.”
As the company enters this new chapter, its mission remains clear: to provide accessible, scalable tools and services that empower entrepreneurs to thrive in an increasingly complex business environment.
