Helping your tech company reach $100 million
With work from home becoming the norm, organizations are desperate for secure software to support the shift towards the virtual workspace. And Tehama’s software has struck gold.
Tehama’s next-generation Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform allows enterprises to instantly create cloud-based virtual offices, virtual rooms and virtual desktops anywhere in the world. In less than an hour, Tehama’s DaaS connects remote workers with mission-critical and data-sensitive systems, with unparalleled security and a complete audit trail. As a bonus the software can be used on any web browser on any device, uniquely eliminating the need for companies to ship laptops or engage with VPS.
“Many organizations are still struggling to implement effective solutions for managing hybrid workplaces, and Tehama Desktop Intelligence and Automation takes the pain and complexity out of managing physical and virtual devices remotely,” said Jaymes Davis, Director of Product Strategy at Tehama.
Demand for the Tehama platform has surged since January 2020, with triple the number of companies adopting it compared to the same time period in 2019. In May 2020, Tehama announced that it has raised US $10 million in a Series A round of financing led by OMERS Ventures, with participation by BDC Industrial, Clean and Energy Technology Fund.
As Tehama’s president & CEO Paul Vallée puts it,
“[We have] a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a juggernaut here in Ottawa.”
Tehama has worked with Invest Ottawa since February 2020 as part of the Scale-up Program. The organization has benefited from business advisory services in the areas of marketing, sales, and market insight, as well as from peer groups and talent services.
