AUSTIN, TX (July 26, 2021) – ESO, a leading data and software company serving emergency medical services (EMS), fire departments, hospitals and state EMS/trauma offices, today announced it has acquired Emergency Reporting.
“This is a significant step forward for both our organizations and the industry,” said Chris Dillie, President and CEO of ESO. “Our mission is to improve community health and safety through the power of data, which aligns perfectly with Emergency Reporting’s mission. We know we are stronger together and can accelerate the great work each of us are doing by combining our collective resources. We are very excited to have the team from Emergency Reporting bring their knowledge and expertise to the table.”
