Talk:Add Service Details and M&A History

Hello volunteer Wikipedia editors, Jody Gilliam here. I am the Director of Marketing Content at Tangoe, and I am interested in garnering your help in updating this profile to communicate more on what the company does and its M&A history - especially given its growth through acquisitions. My working draft is below, and I welcome your thoughts and edits, as I am a novice at Wikipedia editing. While I have linked my reliable sources, I have not yet edited/reordered the Footnotes, as I want to make sure the content itself is in order first -- so I only have to edit them once! Thank you kindly in advance for your help and guidance, Jody Gilliam (talk) 15:18, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
