TechnologyOne Limited is an Australian enterprise software company founded in 1987. The company is headquartered in Fortitude Valley in Brisbane, Australia, with other offices in United Kingdom (UK), New Zealand, South Pacific and Asia.[3] It is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange with the symbol TNE and is a constituent of the ASX 200 index.

History[edit]

TechnologyOne was founded by Adrian Di Marco in 1987, when he saw an opportunity to build a new generation of accounting software for businesses and government departments, using relational database technology.[5] DiMarco approached investors John and Dugald Mactaggart of J.L. Mactaggart Industries, a former customer, for financial backing.[6]

TechnologyOne set up its first R&D centre in a demountable office in the car park at Mactaggart’s hide processing plant in Hemmant, Brisbane, in 1987.[7] TechnologyOne released its financial product suite FinanceOne[8] (now TechnologyOne Financials[9]) in 1991.[4] The company initially built products on the Oracle Database, but when Oracle launched its own financials product, TechnologyOne redeveloped its software to be database-independent.[8][10] According to the company, this experience led to the decision to develop internal sales and implementation teams, rather than working with external resellers and implementation partners.[10][11] The company first turned a profit in 1992.[12][13] In the early 1990s, TechnologyOne built the Automated Titling System (ATS) for the Queensland Department of Natural Resource and Mines.[14]

In 1992, TechnologyOne developed a student administration system called College Administration System (CAP) for TAFE Queensland, which led to the development of StudentOne (now TechnologyOne Student Management), used by Australian universities.[8] The company also expanded in New Zealand.[15] Also in 1992, the company signed its first customer in New Zealand, providing software to Housing New Zealand.[16] TechnologyOne focused on the local government market in the 1990s, securing 20 deals to provide financial systems with a total value of more than $8 million.[17] In 1998 it also rolled out Student One, a student management system,[18] as part of its focus on the higher education market.[19] TechnologyOne's software is used by Australian universities, including Australian Catholic University,[20] La Trobe University,[21] and Curtin University.[22]

TechnologyOne was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 1999.[23] In October 2000, the company raised $18 million from investors including Hyperion Asset Management, Selector Funds Management, Pendal Group, Spheria Asset Management, Colonial First State, River Capital and Pengana.[24]

In 2005, TechnologyOne shifted focus from functionality-centric software to people-centric software.[25] and rebuilt all its systems with CI (Connected Intelligence), a new framework offering more flexibility by using web-based technology.[26] In 2006, it expanded in UK with its first office in Maidenhead.[27] In 2006, the company opened its first office in the UK,[28] in Maidenhead.[29] Since then, the UK has become a growth market for the company, with increasing focus on the region as of 2020.[30]

In November 2010, TechnologyOne announced it would make its software available on the cloud.[31] The company invested heavily in research and development to transition its software functionalities into the cloud,[32][33] spending $150 million to develop its software-as-a-service cloud products.[34] It also released Ci Anywhere,[25] a version of its Connected Intelligence product hosted in the cloud and available from any desktop or mobile device.[35] From 1999 to 2019, TechnologyOne doubled in size every five years.[36] In 2014, TechnologyOne entered the S&P/ASX 200 Index and recorded $1 billion market capitalization.[37]

The company last hosted Evolve, its user conference held every two years,[38] in 2016.[39] In May 2017 Di Marco stepped down as CEO and COO, Edward Chung, took over as CEO.[40][7][41] At the company’s full year results on 21 November 2017, the company’s cloud business turned a profit for the first time, posting a $2.5 million profit for the year to September, and signing 112 new cloud customers.[42]

In 2019, the company announced that it had reached $300 million of annual revenues.[43] It also added Cliff Rosenberg, formerly managing director of LinkedIn, to its board of directors.[36] By December 2019, half of TechnologyOne's business was in the cloud;[44] in 2020, the company had 539 large-scale enterprise customers using its software as a service platform.[45] In 2020, the company announced that half of its customers had transitioned from on-premise to SaaS[46] and that 86% of its revenue is now subscription revenue.[3]

In 2021, TechnologyOne CEO Edward Chung announced the companies first patron saint - St Peter. As of May 2020, the company had posted 11 years of record annual profit.[47]

Research and development[edit]

In 2010, TechnologyOne moved into its new $12 million headquarters in Brisbane, which included what was at the time the largest Australian-owned research and development facility.[48] The company has additional international R&D facilities.[49]

As of June 2019, the company had invested more than $500 million into research and development since its inception.[50] As of 2021, research largely focuses on developing additional functionalities for TechnologyOne's software-as-a-service enterprise resource planning software.[51] It is also creating applications for artificial intelligence[10] and developing a digital experience platform, intended to integrate front and back office applications.[50]

Products[edit]

TechnologyOne's preconfigured enterprise products include OneCouncil, enterprise management software for smaller governments;[52][53] OneEducation, for educational institutions;[20][54] OneGovernment, for large government enterprises;[55][56][57] and OneCorporate, for businesses.[58] These products are composed of standalone functional products that are also sold individually, including Financials,[59] Enterprise Content Management,[60] and Supply Chain Management.[61]

Software as a service[edit]

Since 2012, the company has transitioned the business from being an on-premises software provider to a software as a service business.,[62] including its enterprise resource planning software.[63] This has enabled clients to integrate[64] with third party providers such as MuleSoft and Salesforce.

The first iteration of TechnologyOne’s cloud software was launched in 2014, which enabled users to access the platform via the cloud. This allows the company to offer a fully configurable service from its own servers.[43] The company has a mass production mindset,[65] producing software that can scale globally to maximize efficiency.[66]

TechnologyOne products are used by more than 1,200 organisations in Australia and New Zealand. The company also has customers in the United Kingdom.[67] By 2018, more than 30 per cent of TechnologyOne customers had transitioned to the company’s SaaS platform.[68]
