OSLO, Norway, Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Decisions, the powerful meeting management solution that integrates with Microsoft Office 365, today announces it closed its Series A Round at a $5.5M valuation, led by Skagerak Maturo Seed and existing seed investor, Holta Invest. Decisions will use the funding to continue developing solutions that enable organizations to plan, organize and run successful meetings.
