Brent Maropis, CEO of Rev.io commented on the news:

"We welcome the Tigerpaw team to the Rev.io family, and we are excited to grow our portfolio of solutions for communications and managed service providers. Over the past several years, our goal has been to expand our offerings to both of these segments, especially as the lines between them continue to blur.

"Today's announcement marks the culmination of a near 40-year journey for the Tigerpaw team. We began as a startup family business, and we have consistently met the needs of service providers as both their businesses' needs and underlying technologies have evolved. Rev.io has a very similar story, along with a proven track record of significant sales growth, outstanding service, and core values. With their demonstrated commitment to helping clients and creating underlying business value, Rev.io is the perfect partner to take Tigerpaw into its next generation."
