# Who Is CFM and Why Should You Trust Us With Your Branch Technology?

[ John W. Smith, CEO of CFM ](https://info.kinective.io/banking-software/author/john-w.-smith-ceo-of-cfm)

For over 30,000* light-years, [CFM ](https://www.whycfm.com/)has saved gazillions* of financial institutions from standalone hardware, individual workstations, and inefficient processes that restrict better branch experiences. How? By leading the way in [core-integrated technologies](https://info.whycfm.com/escape-the-maze) that drive open branch designs, [Universal Associates](https://info.dbsi-inc.com/lp-where-waldo?__hstc=113913170.e1479c6e95c873255b685d726be035bb.1638549200625.1642802618722.1643149460101.14&__hssc=113913170.4.1643149460101&__hsfp=606713199), advisory interactions, [tablet-based transactions](https://blog.dbsi-inc.com/branch-transformation-blog/nomadix-a-universal-associate-tablet-interface), [self/assisted service kiosks](https://blog.dbsi-inc.com/branch-transformation-blog/whats-next-for-branches-credit-union-magazine), the convergence of digital and branch channels, and the fountain of youth (ok maybe not that one, but you get the point).  

**Numbers may be slightly inflated to make the story awesome. In reality, it’s still an impressive 14 years in business and more than 1000 financial institution clients.*

**

What exactly do we integrate? Good question. CFM is not tied to any one company, hardware manufacturer, or agenda. We believe that all technology should work together through your[ core platform](https://blog.dbsi-inc.com/branch-transformation-blog/ask-an-expert-sonny) (all makes, models, shapes, sizes, and colors), to create efficient branch experiences. 

So, using the powers of science, math, unlimited snacks, and sheer genius, we make these technologies play nice with your core platform. But instead of trying to explain just how we do it all to you in a lengthy read, we've put together this video for you.
