.
Seeking capital to support this venture, he approached numerous financial institutions and private organisations for financial backing, but was unable to find the required support.
Adrian then approached investors, John and Dugald Mactaggart (of J.L. Mactaggart Industries, a former customer). With this financial backing, TechnologyOne was officially founded.
To use cheap office accommodation, TechnologyOne set up its first R&D centre at Mactaggart’s hide processing plant in Hemmant, Brisbane
. Among the busy operations of the hide plant, the company’s first software product, Finance One (now known as Financials), was created.
By mid-1988, the TechnologyOne team had hired enough staff to outgrow its first R&D centre and were looking to move into bigger quarters.
For the next few years the project services team (now TechnologyOne Plus), which offers custom development software
, gained large contracts with government
and education
organisations while development continued on Finance One.
In 1991, Finance One was officially launched. In 1992, TechnologyOne held its first user conference, with representatives from more than 30 organisations attending. This year also saw TechnologyOne gain accreditation to the Australian Software Standard AS3563, which was followed by the International Standard ISO9001 (Quality Management system) in 1994.
In 1996 the first interstate office was opened in Sydney
.
In 1996 and 1997, Finance One was recognised as the leading financial management accounting package in Australia
.
In 1999, TechnologyOne launched its student management product (TechnologyOne Student Management, formerly StudentOne), which was a joint venture with Curtin University of Technology
. TechnologyOne Student Management quickly became a successful product for TechnologyOne, gaining contracts with Bond University
, Flinders University
and Southern Cross University
.
This was also a period of staff growth for the company, with offices opening in Melbourne
, Victoria
and Hobart
, Tasmania
in the late 1990s, the first international offices in New Zealand
and Malaysia in 2000, and further offices in Perth
, Western Australia
and Adelaide
, South Australia
in 2001.
In late 2000, TechnologyOne made its first acquisition, Proclaim Software Pty Ltd, which was rebranded to Proclaim One (now TechnologyOne Property & Rating). By 2003, TechnologyOne added two more products, People One (now TechnologyOne Human Resource & Payroll) and TechnologyOne Supply Chain.
Throughout 2005 and 2006, TechnologyOne worked on its new generation Connected Intelligence platform.
In 2006, TechnologyOne opened its first UK office. By 2009, TechnologyOne had expanded into each of its target vertical markets; government
, local government
, education
, health
and community services, utilities, financial services
and managed services sectors.
TechnologyOne acquired an enterprise content management provider, Avand Pty Ltd, and its product, DataWorks, in 2007, integrating it into its software suite and branding it as TechnologyOne Enterprise Content Management. In 2008, TechnologyOne made a further acquisition, Outcome Manager Pty Ltd, which provided TechnologyOne with a strategic performance planning product, Performance Planning.

.
TechnologyOne also works in close partnership with its customers to gain constant feedback, which is then included in new releases. TechnologyOne’s latest technology release, TechnologyOne Mobility, has involved working with a number of local councils in Australia
and New Zealand
to develop a mobile solution for field workers.
In 2008, TechnologyOne invested approximately $21.1 million in research and development (R&D) on both existing and new products, which equates to approximately 20 per cent of revenue.
With each new generation of software, TechnologyOne has migrated all its customers to the platform, for no additional licence fees.
The new TechnologyOne Cloud Computing Suite (called TechnologyOne C2) will be built, hosted and delivered in the cloud - a markedly different approach from other vendors, which are building cloud strategies around existing architecture (‘cloud washing strategy’). Depending on customers’ requirements, they will have the option of hosting their software externally on the cloud or internally using their existing infrastructure.
The new cloud strategy will mean a radical restructure of TechnologyOne’s business and will make it one of the only Australian-owned software providers to embrace cloud technology wholeheartedly.
TechnologyOne already delivers its Connected Intelligence (Ci) solutions in the cloud, but to take advantage of all the benefits of cloud technology, the software vendor is completely restructuring its business model and re-engineering its software from the ground up.
The first of TechnologyOne’s new C2 cloud services will be delivered in 2011, following an internal pilot.
TechnologyOne Executive Chairman, Adrian Di Marco, said TechnologyOne still recognised there were concerns about security from customers.
To alleviate these concerns, TechnologyOne plans to have data centres located both in Australia and offshore.

Connected Intelligence
In 2005, TechnologyOne launched its latest technology platform, Connected Intelligence, a platform that combines internet with client–server technology. This new platform ensures upgrades are rolled out quickly and provides the ability to tailor information to individual users. The Connected Intelligence platform has also significantly cut down the need to train existing and new staff, as the internet-based solution is both familiar and easy to use. With the Connected Intelligence platform now developed and implemented, TechnologyOne staff have begun research on the next generation product, “NextGen”, which will build on the Connected Intelligence platform.Cloud Computing
In late 2010, announced its intention to bring its cloud computing platform to market.The new TechnologyOne Cloud Computing Suite (called TechnologyOne C2) will be built, hosted and delivered in the cloud - a markedly different approach from other vendors, which are building cloud strategies around existing architecture (‘cloud washing strategy’). Depending on customers’ requirements, they will have the option of hosting their software externally on the cloud or internally using their existing infrastructure.
