Chicago-based investment firm Aktion Partners continues its investment in Avionos, a digital services and solutions provider focused on connected customer engagement.

Since its inception in 2014, Avionos has become a premier cloud consultancy services and technology partner driving increased performance for Marketing, Sales, and Customer Care organizations. It will use the investment to support its next stage of growth both in Chicago and nationally.
