The investment from Phunware deepens our partnership and broadens the suite of offerings both companies can provide to large enterprises.”

Our strategic investment in ClearBlade helps make that approach possible for businesses wrestling with legacy systems in a fluid, mobile landscape”, commented Alan S. Knitowski, Chairman and CEO of Phunware.
