What Informanix does

Informanix Technology Group Inc. is a privately held Canadian managed IT services provider and systems integrator founded in 2013 and headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The company delivers enterprise-quality IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, cloud, and managed services to organizations ranging from SMBs to billion-dollar corporations across Canada and the northeastern United States, operating from five offices (Winnipeg HQ, Ottawa, Calgary, Regina, and Boston). Its portfolio centers on Informanix Complete, a flagship bundled managed service offering unlimited 24/7 technical support, full-stack technology management, advanced security, backup and disaster recovery, and strategic IT advisory on a monthly recurring subscription, and Informanix Select, a co-managed service for clients with existing in-house IT teams of 100 to 1,000 users. Adjacent offerings include Informanix Capital (IT equipment leasing and financing), Informanix ONE and Informanix Cloud client portals, and an Advisory practice covering cyber attack response, insolvency/restructuring, M&A due diligence, enterprise risk assessment, technology planning, and interim executive placements.

The company's technology stack is built atop deep partnerships with tier-1 vendors, most notably Sophos (Platinum partner and 2019 Partner of the Year Canada) for cybersecurity, alongside Microsoft, Cisco, VMware, Nutanix, NetApp, Rubrik, Zscaler, Forescout, F5, Lenovo, AWS, and Azure. Its Next Generation Threat Hunting service leverages machine-learning and AI-powered anti-exploit tooling within MDR offerings spanning EDR, XDR, and SIEM. Informanix generates revenue through recurring managed service subscriptions, project-based infrastructure solutions, professional advisory and incident response engagements, staff augmentation, and equipment leasing. Distribution is sales-led and direct, supplemented by channel relationships with technology vendors whose platforms Informanix implements and manages for end clients. Leadership is anchored by President & CEO Kyle Molotkin (also President of ISACA Winnipeg Chapter and former PMI Manitoba President 2016-2018), CTO Brad Olbort, CFO Lauren McWilliams, VP of IT Business Solutions David Steinhilber, and a team of seven Directors spanning infrastructure, cloud, advisory, consulting, and regional business development.
