Automated Location Information Products to help Service Providers 

CHICAGO – RedSky Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of location information management and E911 software to the enterprise market, announced today that it completed a new round of funding from its current investors, CID Capital and Dunrath Capital.

“This latest investment will accelerate efforts to leverage RedSky’s expertise in location information to bring to market products that enable location-based services,” said Tony Maier, CEO of RedSky. “Our investors’ ongoing commitment to the company’s operational plan, product development and channel expansion has been a key driver in RedSky’s growth.”
