Tell us about Devart
Devart is a global leader in data management, connectivity, and integration solutions. Our mission is simple: enable customers to manage data easily and effectively at an affordable cost. Over the past 27 years, we’ve built a powerful set of data management tools. Today, more than 500,000 users, including 65% of Fortune 100 companies, rely on our solutions.
Our success comes from solving real problems for customers. The dbForge suite, for example, simplifies database management, Skyvia streamlines system integration, and TMetric helps businesses stay on track with time-tracking. From its founding year in 1997, Devart has achieved consistent growth and remained profitable without external funding, something rare in the tech world.
What sets Devart apart in this rather competitive market?
It’s quite simple, as I mentioned above, we focus on real problems rather than chase trends. Take dbForge, for example—what used to take developers hours to format and debug queries, can now be done in just minutes.
Similarly, Skyvia also simplifies complex integrations, making system connections smoother. And while most tech companies abandon their products once they are released, we don’t. We continuously develop our tools to accommodate the latest needs of our customers and keep up with the fast-changing tech landscape.

What is your advice to aspiring entrepreneurs?
“People first.” Focus on solving real problems of the customers you are targeting and not what you assume they require. A product that delivers value speaks for itself. And at the beginning of the process, do not get caught up in the details—first hire people who are as passionate about the product as you are and who are flexible enough to change with the company.
What excites you most about working at Devart?
What excites me most about working at Devart is knowing our products make a real difference. From helping SpaceX explore space to supporting Pfizer’s life-saving research, our software quietly powers major achievements. And it’s not just the big players—every day, businesses of all sizes use our tools to tackle data challenges, save time, and grow. Being part of that journey, making an impact, big or small, is what keeps me motivated.
How has Devart evolved over the last few years?
Devart has experienced steady growth over the last five years, even amid global challenges. Since 2020, the company showcased a solid performance, driven by our flagship product lines and projects: dbForge for SQL Server has grown by 116.5%, ODBC drivers by 245.33%, and TMetric by 199.53%. Skyvia—our cloud-based data integration platform—has grown by 250.62% and is becoming a key part of our product lineup. To keep up with this momentum, we restructured into specialized units, each with dedicated leadership. This has allowed us to focus on strategic opportunities and significantly improve the customer experience.
What can we hope to see from Devart in the future?
Looking ahead, Devart’s focus is on making data management even simpler and more powerful for our users. We’re investing in cloud technology and AI to help our customers keep up with emerging industry needs and stay ahead in a fast-changing environment. Additionally, we’re actively exploring several promising niches for potential new product launches.
