About Us

Founded by industry veterans and technology experts, we set out to solve a problem we saw time and time again: businesses struggling to navigate the complexities of selecting, sourcing, and implementing technology solutions.

So many options, so many choices.

It’s confusing and how do you determine, much less know, what is the right technology that works for you?

At Octovia, we believe technology should be a bridge to success, not a barrier - we knew there had to be a better way. One that provided clarity, expertise, guidance, and ongoing support while eliminating the frustrations that often come with determining and implementing technology.

Our name, Octovia, represents our core philosophy. "Octo" (eight) and "via" (path) reflect the eight foundational principles that guide our approach to technology strategy, ensuring businesses have multiple clear paths to success. Inspired by the octopus, one of nature’s most intelligent, adaptable, and problem-solving creatures, we equip businesses with the right tools, guidance, and expertise to take control of their technology journey.

Octovia is built on eight foundational principles—each represented in our Octovia Pathway, a structured yet flexible approach to solving technology challenges, optimizing efficiency, and driving long-term success.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ’s

Why work with Octovia vs a Technology Supplier Directly?

Octovia acts as an extension of your team, providing unbiased guidance across a curated portfolio of top providers. Unlike direct suppliers limited to their own offerings, we help you scope, source, and optimize technology solutions that truly fit your needs—often at no direct cost to you.

Why can’t my IT staff do this themselves?

Vendor evaluations and modernization projects can stretch your IT staff, diverting them from their essential daily duties. While your team excels at maintaining operations and supporting your internal customers, navigating the vast landscape of emerging technologies requires specialized expertise and experience.

How does having you involved in procurement help my company?

With our broad exposure to the technology services ecosystem and insights from the experience of numerous deals and contracts, we often secure better pricing and terms than a company can achieve directly. By following the Octovia Pathway process, our involvement streamlines requirements gathering, scoping, vendor evaluations, and contract negotiations, cutting through the back and forth to speed up the process.

Do you get paid by these vendors?

Yes, similar to insurance or real estate agents, we receive commissions from vendors. These commissions mean that we don’t charge for helping our clients through the Octovia Pathway process of vendor selection.

Doesn’t that mean you are going to be influenced by your payments or commissions?

No, our extensive partnership ecosystem ensures that we are not biased towards any single solution. We offer a broad selection of technology partners and service providers, enabling a fair and comprehensive comparison to find the best fit for your needs. Our compensation is spread over the duration of your agreement, ensuring ongoing support and satisfaction with your decision is our main objective, not just getting you to buy something.
