Talk:TechnologyOne

Request edit
Hello, my name is Lisa and I work in PR representing TechnologyOne. I'm reaching out to editors with proposed new content for the page, which takes into account previous feedback from editors on the need to sufficiently paraphrase sourced material. The copy has therefore been re-written. As per previously, there edits are proposed to sit between the existing ‘history’ and ‘acquisition’ sections. In making these changes, I the additions of content and proposed sections seeking to replicate the type of content – and headings - which appear on the pages of our technology peers. Similar to these other pages, our proposed suggestions are intended to be factual edits to reflect the core operational functions of the business for any technology company: our business model, software and markets. With minimal edits being page to this page over the past few years, the edits proposed seek to provide a more accurate and up-to-date summary of the company. If you have time to review the suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. --User: TechnologyOneBris2019 (talk)

TechnologyOne products are used by more than 1,200 organisations, making it one of the largest enterprise software providers in Australia and New Zealand. The company also has a presence in the United Kingdom. Since 2012, the company has spent more than $200 million to transition the business from being an on-premise software provider to a software-as-service business.

The first iteration of TechnologyOne’s cloud software was launched in 2014, which enabled users to access the platform via the cloud. By 2018, cloud adoption was strong with more than 30 per cent of TechnologyOne customers transitioning to the company’s SaaS platform. With customers switching to the cloud, it means that TechnologyOne earnings and revenues are coming from its SaaS business. At its most recent company update in 2019, the company announced that it had 389 customers using its SaaS platform. It has provided a projection that by 2022, more than 1000 customers would be using their SaaS platform. Stated at its half year financial results in 2019, the company reported total SaaS annual contract value announced of $85.8 million, which was growing at 45% per annum. . In 2017, Executive Chairman Adrian Di Marco announced that the company had started to invest in artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to build its next generation software. The company first unveiled details of the Digital Experience Platform (or DXP) in 2019, announcing that it will feature 14 mobile applications for its launch. DXP represents a change in that its applications are being designed for the end user to consume, as opposed to the major organisations previously serviced by TechnologyOne, such as a higher education institutions and governments. The company released a software upgrade in 2019 – named 2019A – to include 216 new features and enhancements.

Local Government, Education, Government, Health and Community Services, Asset & Project Intensive Industries, and Financial Services are the key markets that TechnologyOne services. More than half of Australian councils using the company’s software, making Local Government represents TechnologyOne’s largest market. This represents more than 300 local councils in Australia. In 2018/19, TechnologyOne signed 11 deals with local councils at a value of $80 million in contract revenue. Higher Education is its second largest market, with TechnologyOne new deals signed in 2019 including Curtain University, Macquarie University and South Australia’s Flinders University. As of September 2019, TechnologyOne had more than 44 customers in the UK, including universities, local governments and health and community service providers, and finance organisations.

TechnologyOne has invested $500 million into R&D since 1987. In the financial year ending September 2018, this included 22 per cent of revenue and $54 million being spent in Research and Development. TechnologyOne employs more than 400 developers to have one of the largest R&D centres in Australia.

In 2016, TechnologyOne established the TechnologyOne Foundation for its philanthropic endeavours, and signed up to the Pledge 1% movement. In 2017, the TechnologyOne Foundation announced an annual grant to Opportunity International Australia, which helps to get 500,000 children out of poverty. The TechnologyOne Foundation has many partnerships, including with Opportunity International Australia, The Fred Hollows Foundation, The Salvation Army and Solar Buddy.

2022 COI edit requests
Hi! I'm a COI editor for TechnologyOne, a client of GRACosway, which is a sister agency of my employer, Porter Novelli. I have some edit requests for this article. (I've also created a mockup of what the article would look like with all the changes highlighted/struck through.)

The company first turned a profit in 1992.
