Steven LafortuneDevolutions is proud to announce a strategic investment in Obkio, a Montreal-based company behind an internationally recognized network performance monitoring platform. This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to building a stronger, more complete IT ecosystem for MSPs and IT professionals worldwide.
What is Obkio?
Obkio is a network performance monitoring platform designed to give IT teams real-time visibility into their infrastructure. It allows them to detect, diagnose, and resolve network performance issues before they impact end users.
Since its founding, Obkio has grown well beyond its home market, earning recognition from IT professionals across North America and Europe — making it a natural fit for Devolutions’ global community.
A natural fit for MSPs and SMBs
Devolutions and Obkio serve the same core audience: managed service providers (MSPs), IT administrators, and mid-sized organizations managing complex environments with limited resources. Their expertise covers two distinct but essential angles:
- Devolutions secures and manages access, passwords, and remote connections
- Obkio monitors the performance and reliability of network infrastructure This investment is rooted in a shared understanding of the challenges IT teams face today — and a commitment to offering them better-integrated solutions.
A strategic investment, not an acquisition
Obkio retains full operational autonomy and strategic direction. Devolutions’ support will allow Obkio to accelerate on three fronts:
- Team expansion
- Strengthened commercial operations
- Continued platform development
“Our decision to invest in Obkio is based on the strength of their platform, the credibility of their team, and the relevance of their positioning among IT professionals. This investment reflects our commitment to supporting the next generation of IT solutions.” — David Hervieux, CEO of Devolutions
What this means for Obkio
“After several years of building our platform, we now have the product and traction needed to scale. Devolutions brings us far more than financial resources — their entrepreneurial expertise and deep understanding of our market will significantly accelerate the execution of our product roadmap.” — Pierre-Luc Charbonneau, CEO of Obkio
A continued commitment to the IT ecosystem
As IT environments grow more complex, network performance monitoring has become a critical component of infrastructure management — especially for organizations that don’t have the resources of a large enterprise. With over one million users across 140 countries, including a strong and growing presence in Europe, Devolutions is uniquely positioned to help bring Obkio’s platform to IT teams who need it most.
This investment is another step in our approach of collaborating with specialized partners to strengthen the broader IT ecosystem — for SMBs and IT professionals everywhere.
