True Wind congratulates our partner VitalEdge Technologies on its rebrand! Formerly e-Emphasys Technologies, VitalEdge develops end-to-end software for dealers of heavy equipment, primarily in the agriculture, construction, and material handling markets.   The name change comes approximately nine months after its merger with CDK Global (CDK Heavy Equipment) and was inspired by clients to better reflect the value of the talent, technologies and partnerships the combined company delivers to the industry sectors its serves.   This is an exciting milestone for VitalEdge and we look forward to continuing our partnership!   #VitalEdge #PrivateEquity #growth www.vitaledge.com
