ESO Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of software to emergency medical services (EMS), fire departments, hospitals and healthcare professionals nationwide, announced that it has received a growth equity investment from Accel-KKR, a leading technology-focused private equity firm.

As a result of the new partnership, ESO will accelerate its investments in sales, marketing, product innovation and acquisitions, company officials said.

Other key products include: Health Data Exchange (HDE), a pioneering interoperability and data-exchange platform that allows different areas of healthcare to share patient data in a bi-directional, vendor-agnostic environment; and specialty software for fire departments, ambulance billing operations, and others.

“At ESO, we’ve always pursued our vision for improving community health through the power of data. We have developed tools that turn critical data into usable information for our customers,” said Chris Dillie, President and CEO of ESO. “Partnering with Accel-KKR will help us continue to realize that vision, strengthen our leadership position in the market and provide even greater value for the professionals we serve.”

“ESO brings innovative technology to emergency services and healthcare. The Company’s strong vertical solutions and excellent reputation for customer service make it a great fit for us,” said Accel-KKR Managing Director Greg Williams. “We’re looking forward to working with the team at ESO to enhance the value it provides to this important market.”
