SP+ has acquired all the intellectual property of Roker as well as its client contracts and a talented support team based both in the United States and Canada.
Chris Sherman, President of the Commercial Division at SP+, commented, “We see robust demand for a comprehensive mobility solution from municipal clients focused on leveraging smart city applications and from healthcare and university clients looking to digitize the complex permitting requirements that are common on their campuses. Roker has built a hardware-agnostic platform that simplifies what can otherwise be a very complex process for permit and enforcement management for organizations both large and small. The acquisition of Roker’s platform accelerates the go-to-market for these solutions and strengthens our overall Sphere offerings to these verticals.
