Hello! My name is Laurence Cadieux, and I’m a Communication Coordinnator here at Devolutions. My role includes overseeing the content strategy and development of our blog, managing the content and communication for our VIP advocate platform “Devolutions Force,” and working closely with our PR partners around the world. I also handle our off-site content opportunities (magazines, journals, newspapers, etc.). Academically, I have a bachelor’s degree in marketing. When I’m not working, I sing in a band, and I enjoy watching my favorite movies again and again. I also love cooking, and during the pandemic, I became a bread expert — I can now bake the most amazing key lime pie on earth (if I do say so myself!). Plus, I recently discovered LEGO and there is no turning back — I’m hooked! I’m always happy to help, and you can reach me directly at lcadieux@devolutions.net.

Working in IT is usually serious, often stressful, and occasionally scary (just ask the folks at CrowdStrike these days!). That is why it’s so important to have a little fun every now and then — which is why you’ll love playing our new game called Where is Maurice?

What is Where is Maurice?

Maurice is one of the main characters in our popular comic Sysadminotaur. As usual, he is over-worked and under-appreciated. But now there is something new and different about our beloved IT hero: he is hiding!

You see, we have hidden Maurice on a page somewhere on the Devolutions website. Your task is to find him, which could win you a monthly prize valued at $50. All of the gameplay details are in the next section.
