Demand for DevOps grows all the time, as every company needs to put software development capabilities and software products as their strategic pillars. With Bocap, Eficode went to Europe. Now with the backing of Investcorp, we expect to significantly accelerate our growth worldwide to make Eficode the leading DevOps services house in the world."
Ilari Nurmi, CEO of Eficode, added: "We are excited to partner with Investcorp as we enter our next phase of growth.

The close collaboration with Eficode's ambitious team has been rewarding, and we are excited to see what the future holds for this dynamic and forward-thinking company!"
