Kovair’s award-winning platform supports over 110 different integrations out-of-the-box and empowers organizations to remove data silos and create automations across multiple tools. The fir’s software is used by the U.S. Navy, Worldbank Group, and Intel among others.
“Combining the deep engineering capabilities and industry knowledge of the two firms unlock new frontiers of innovation,” said former Kovair CEO Bipin Shah. “This is an exciting time for Kovair, its team members and clients. It’s a great opportunity for the two firms to build a remarkable business together. I look forward to remaining involved as an active Board member and contributing to the venture’s future success.”
