"The Connectbase vision has always been global," said Ben Edmond , CEO and Founder at Connectbase. "Bringing the LMX reach, offerings, customer base and team into the Connectbase fold follows through on our longer-term strategic vision and brings incredible additional value to the existing customer base of both companies.
