Innovature Partners with HYCU to Deliver Total Data Sovereignty Across Multi-Cloud Environments

Introduction

Innovature, a global software development and digital transformation firm, has announced a strategic partnership with HYCU, Inc., a pioneer in multi-cloud data resilience and one of the fastest-growing companies in the data protection sector.

This collaboration strengthens Innovature’s ability to protect the modern enterprise’s most valuable asset—its data. By integrating HYCU’s world-class Data Protection as a Service (DPaaS) into its core offerings, Innovature will enable organizations to achieve comprehensive data resilience across on-premises, public cloud, and SaaS environments, ensuring business continuity amid increasing cyber threats.

Why Data Protection Needs a New Approach

Enterprises today are more reliant than ever on Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms, with the average organization using over 200 different applications. However, a significant “protection gap” has emerged: while SaaS providers guarantee platform uptime, the Shared Responsibility Model dictates that the customer is responsible for the integrity and recovery of their own data.

As ransomware attacks become more frequent and sophisticated, traditional “legacy” backup solutions struggle to keep pace with the distributed nature of modern cloud data. The “SaaS Data Apocalypse”—a term coined to describe the imminent risk of mass data loss across unprotected SaaS silos—requires a shift from simple backups to a holistic, “Resilience-by-Design” approach.x

Why Resilience and HYCU

HYCU R-Cloud is the world’s first development platform for data protection, designed specifically for the multi-cloud era. Unlike traditional tools that rely on cumbersome “agents,” HYCU is cloud-native and agentless, connecting directly to data sources via API for a seamless, “shockingly simple” experience.

HYCU provides unified visibility through R-Graph, a visualization tool that maps an organization’s entire data estate to identify unprotected “blind spots.” With 1-click backup and recovery, immutable (WORM) storage for ransomware defense, and the industry’s highest NPS of 91, HYCU allows enterprises to move their data freely and safely. For a software development leader like Innovature, HYCU’s R-Cloud also offers the unique ability to build custom backup connectors for niche and proprietary applications, ensuring no data source is left vulnerable.

About Innovature

Since 2005, Innovature has enabled enterprises across various sectors, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail, to scale with customized software, data engineering, cloud, and AI solutions.
Our hybrid delivery model empowers organizations to insource strategic data and AI capability while outsourcing engineering execution—allowing faster modernization, smarter decision-making, and lower operational risk.

About HYCU

HYCU, Inc. is the leader in multi-cloud and SaaS data protection. Purpose-built for the modern cloud era, HYCU provides the only platform that protects data across on-premises, cloud-native, and SaaS environments with a single, unified interface.

About the Partnership

Through this partnership, Innovature and HYCU enable enterprises to move beyond fragmented security and achieve true Cyber Resilience. By combining Innovature’s engineering depth with HYCU’s automation, organizations can significantly reduce recovery time objectives (RTO) and ensure their digital infrastructure is “unstoppable.”

“As we expand our digital services from our strongholds in India and Japan to a broader global market, serving industries from retail to healthcare, we recognize that data resilience is the foundation of trust. By combining Innovature’s software engineering expertise with HYCU’s industry-leading technology, we are giving our clients a ‘time machine’ for their data—ensuring that even in the event of critical system failures or unexpected disruptions, they can recover and resume operations in minutes.”
