Response Networks, a North Andover, Mass-based provider of service-level management software, announced yesterday that it has secured a fourth round of funding. The company reports that it will receive $4 million now and an additional $1 million by the end of the year.

is joined by existing investors in Response Networks, including Blue Rock Venture Capital, Cisco
Systems, Hickory Venture Group, Keystone Venture Capital and
Mid-Atlantic Venture Funds.
“Response Networks has world-class products that provide customers with
measurable business benefits, a sound business model that will help the
company build and maintain a leadership position in its marketspace, and a
strong management team to make it happen,” said Albert A. Zesiger, Zesiger Capital Group’s

needs to continue building great technology and market share,” said Ted
