PlumChoice, Inc., a provider of technical services to cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) service providers, IoT manufacturers, cloud solution providers and distributors, has announced new funding from current investors.

The investment is designed to accelerate the company’s significant growth in the Cloud and IoT Services markets.

At the request of the investors, the funding total is not being disclosed.

With this investment, along with current company and industry momentum, PlumChoice executives estimate that they’ll see double digit growth in their IoT and Cloud businesses in 2017. “This funding will enable PlumChoice to further leverage its market leadership in the Premium Technical Support market and move toward seizing significant partnership opportunities in the Cloud and IoT markets,” said Shimoni. “Additionally, the money will fuel enhancements in PlumChoice’s technology platform to increase the integration with our partners to deliver an even higher level of customer support.”
