What CCMI does

CCMI is a US-based provider of specialized telecommunications data solutions founded in 1971 and headquartered in Rockville, Maryland. The company builds and maintains proprietary databases and analytical tools — including TelView Plus, NetExpress, QTEL Telecom Suite, TelView, International Databases, FiberLocator, Telecom Tools and the TEM Rate File — that supply carrier rates, USOCs, tariff data, rate-center and call-routing information, and fiber/colocation infrastructure intelligence. These products are organized across three solution areas: Cost Management, Revenue Assurance and Network Planning, and are primarily sold as subscription/recurring data feeds to communications service providers (wireline, wireless and cable operators) and to enterprise software vendors that embed CCMI data into their own applications.

The company operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market, engaging customers directly through phone and email channels and a secure customer login portal, with pricing determined per engagement rather than publicly disclosed. Named enterprise customers visible on the company's website and materials include AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, CenturyLink, Sprint and RCN, positioning CCMI as a data supplier to large US carriers and cable providers. Its content channels — a regulatory-focused blog, webinars, training programs and industry news coverage of FCC actions through mid-2026 — function both as marketing and as a regulatory intelligence layer over its data assets. CCMI has no public APIs, SDKs or AI/ML capabilities documented in the available material.

Since December 2016, CCMI has operated as a business unit of Simplify Compliance Holdings, formed through a private equity investment by Leeds Equity Partners that merged BLR, CCMI, DecisionHealth and Argosy. Under this PE-backed ownership, CCMI has pursued an acquisition-driven expansion: it acquired i2Gemini in October 2016 (telecom carrier applications), FiberLocator from NEF in July 2017 (fiber and colocation mapping, integrated within VETRO FiberMap), The HUB/TelecomHub in September 2017 (telecom professional community, relaunched as the CCMI HUB in April 2018), and datacenterHawk in July 2022 (data center infrastructure intelligence). Reported headcount is 11–50 employees and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
