Datto takes time over Infocyte integration

Datto said it is taking its time merging its newly acquired security outfit Infocyte into its operations.

Datto said it will be taking on all of Infocyte’s 27 employees and is “taking its time” with the integration of Infocyte’s technology into its own stack.

A number of Infocyte’s services are still in the market and Datto CEO Tim Weller said that other technology will start to be integrated into products that sit on top of Datto Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) in the second half of this year.

Weller said the company was a good fit because it was everything it did was interesting and there was not a thing Datto didn’t want.

“That’s unusual in M&A, usually you’re taking the good with the bad, or you’re getting the tech but don’t like the team, or you’re getting a great team but you’ve got to throw the tech away”, he added. “It happened organically through the businesses just getting to know each other, and I like that.”

In addition to the new endpoint protection capabilities Datto can offer its MSP customers, the company said it’s also gaining a team with extensive real-world experience.
