ACES About

Since being founded in 2005 by Steve Van Valin and Mike Kight, ACES has experienced early success
with some of the largest regional and national telecommunications and data communications companies
in the country. ACES has dramatically transformed the way these companies process, manage and
leverage their communications invoice data to manage network expenses to improve profitability.
Customers have saved millions of dollars of unnecessary network expense due to the ACES invoice
management application.

Steve also has over 20 years of experience in the telecommunications industry with responsibilities ranging from Vice
President of Network Planning for Consolidated Communications, co-founder along with Mike Kight of Network Audit Control
(NAC), and Director of Cost Management at Xspedius. While at Xspedius, Steve employed many of the same techniques that
are presently used in the ACES application to save them several million dollars in network expense.

Mike started his career in the banking industry in 1981 working with and creating software for Loan Department and GL
accounting systems for 10 years. As Co-Founder of ACES, Mike has more than 18 years experience in the design and coding
of CABS billing systems, initially with GDS, a LEC billing service bureau and more recently with CCI. Mike's experience
covers all facets of CABS and the CABS BOS format, private line and switched bill verification audit and cost management
systems as well as GL/Accounts Payable interfaces.
