Orlando, Fla. (May 5, 2014) – PowerDMS, Inc., a cloud-based document management software company, has secured a growth equity investment from Ballast Point Ventures (BPV).

With this funding, we will be able to attract more top talent and accelerate the development of our software. We look forward to partnering with the Ballast Point Ventures team, who shares both our long-term perspective and our belief in the importance of building great relationships with our customers and employees.”
