About Bocada

Founded in 2001, Bocada operates as a specialized developer of backup reporting and management software, providing a centralized platform for data protection oversight. The company's business model is centered on offering its software to large enterprises, small-to-medium-sized businesses, and managed service providers (MSPs) to automate data protection monitoring and reduce operational costs. Revenue is generated through two primary editions of its software: Bocada Enterprise, an on-premises installation, and Bocada Cloud, a SaaS offering with pay-as-you-go pricing.

Bocada's platform functions by integrating with over 40 different backup products, aggregating performance data into a single, independent interface. This allows clients to move beyond basic success/failure reporting to gain a comprehensive view of their entire backup environment, a critical function for compliance auditing and performance analysis. Key features include automated reporting, which can be scheduled and customized, and AI-powered anomaly detection to identify missed backup jobs. The system also helps identify unprotected assets within a client's IT environment by integrating with asset inventory solutions. For MSPs, the platform offers capabilities like remote data collection, automated customer segmentation, and white-label reporting.

A significant milestone for the company was the acquisition of JobR in October 2024, a backup remediation SaaS solution from AI developer Biomni. This strategic acquisition added AI-driven remediation capabilities to Bocada's portfolio, allowing for automated actions like restarting failed backup jobs and creating incident tickets within ITSM platforms like ServiceNow. The company has received a total of $24.4M in funding from investors including Madrona Venture Group, Partech, Catamount Ventures, and Second Avenue Partners. While Nancy Hurley served as CEO for a significant period, leaving in 2013, the current CEO is Matthew Hall.
