Obkio is proud to announce an important investment from Devolutions, one of the most respected names in IT security and remote access management. This investment marks a new chapter for Obkio as we accelerate our next phase of growth.

This isn't a financial transaction between strangers. It's a partnership between two companies that have spent years building tools for the same people: IT professionals, sysadmins, MSPs, and the network engineers who keep critical network infrastructure running.

About Obkio
About Obkio

Obkio is a network monitoring and observability platform designed for IT teams managing complex, distributed infrastructure. Our software continuously monitors network performance across all sites, and when something goes wrong, it tells you where, when, why, and what to do about it.

Since our founding in 2018, we've grown consistently across North America and beyond; expanding our customer base, growing our team, and deepening our product with features that go well beyond basic uptime monitoring. Network observability made simple is our main focus.

“Two years ago, we started developing Insight, the first real incarnation of that auto-diagnostic vision. When I saw the first versions delivered a few months ago, I knew we had done it. At a scale we'd never reached before. That's when we knew it was time to shift into second, even third gear. To bring this product to market at the scale it deserves, you need solid backing.”
Pierre-Luc Charbonneau
CEO & Co-Founder, Obkio

Why This Partnership Makes Sense
Why This Partnership Makes Sense

The logic here is straightforward.

Devolutions gives IT teams secure, centralized access to the systems they manage. Obkio tells those same teams whether those systems are healthy, and when they're not, what's causing the problem.

One tool helps you get in. The other tells you what's happening once you're there.

Both companies are built for IT professionals. For the people who actually have to fix things.

“I remember our first visit to their Devolutions campus in 2018. After the meeting, when I sat down in the car with Jean-François Levesque, I told him: "Wow. That's what we want to become when we grow up." I felt like a little kid looking up at his big brother with stars in his eyes. I had just found a role model.”

What This Means for Obkio
What This Means for Obkio

Devolutions' investment gives us the capital to move faster on the things that matter most to our customers: deeper network intelligence, automatic network diagnostics & root cause analysis, and expanded coverage across more environments.

It also gives us something beyond capital: the credibility and track record of a partner that has been earning the trust of IT professionals for over 15 years. Devolutions is bootstrapped, profitable, and has built everything through customer value, not investor hype. That's the kind of partner we wanted.

“Entrepreneurship, despite appearances, is often lonely. Having an active partner you can really talk to, about mistakes, about wins, about doubts, about ideas, has immense value. Possibly even greater than money itself.”
Pierre-Luc Charbonneau
CEO & Co-Founder, Obkio

For our customers and prospects, nothing changes in how you use Obkio. Our roadmap is ours. Our team is focused. This investment accelerates what we were already building.

Obkio and Devolutions

Two Quebec SaaS Companies. Same Mission.
Two Quebec SaaS Companies. Same Mission.

Both Obkio and Devolutions were built in the province of Quebec in Canada. Both serve IT professionals. Both believe that the people keeping network infrastructure running deserve better tools. Tools that are powerful, affordable, and actually work the way you expect.

“Our decision to invest in Obkio is based on the strength of its platform, the credibility of its team, and the relevance of its positioning among IT professionals. It is also a demonstration of the ability of established Quebec companies to play an active role in the development of technological solutions.”
David Hervieux
President and Chief Executive Officer of Devolutions

This partnership is a reflection of that shared belief.

We're excited about what comes next. Stay tuned.
