Tech Ascent - Episode 42

In this episode of Tech Ascent, Brad Banyas, founder and CEO of OMI, reflects on how he has steered a SaaS and cloud services firm through 26 years of sustained growth—starting in 1999 as one of the early application service providers. We dive into OMI’s evolution from banking software to deep CRM and cloud service expertise, how they scaled without massive marketing spend, and why client retention and strategic partner networks became their sustainable growth engine. Brad also shares his approach to embedding “agentic AI,” how OMI continues innovating by building lasting systems, and why true business longevity depends on relationships, trust, and purpose—far beyond trends.
