TechnologyOne

TechnologyOne has been selected as an ABA100® Winner for Community Contribution in The Australian Business Awards 2024. The Australian Business Award for Community Contribution [CCA] recognises organisations that implement initiatives that have a positive impact on the community and generate outcomes that have a long-term benefit.

TechnologyOne is one of the biggest success stories in the Australian software industry. Based in Brisbane, it has grown to be the nation’s largest enterprise software company and a top 100 ASX-listed company.

For more than 36 years, TechnologyOne has been a steadfast partner to its customers, both in Australia and across the globe. It has consistently provided innovative enterprise software, incorporating new technologies as they emerge, to enable its customers to focus on transforming their businesses, not technology.

The company’s deeply integrated Software as a Service (SaaS) enterprise resource planning solution is used by 1,300 leading corporations, government agencies, local councils, and universities and is available on any device, anywhere, and anytime.

In 2016, TechnologyOne established the TechnologyOne Foundation.

The Foundation is a multimillion-dollar annual commitment to support a range of Australian and international charities and community organisations dedicated to helping disadvantaged children and young people create their own pathways to success. This long-term initiative reflects the values, culture, and aspirations TechnologyOne looks for in its employees.

The Foundation is part of the Pledge 1% corporate philanthropy movement, which challenges individuals and companies to commit 1% of their profit, product and time to their communities. As part of this initiative, TechnologyOne gives its team members 2.5 days leave per year (the equivalent of 1 per cent of their time) to spend volunteering. To fulfil the one per cent product component, the Foundation donates one per cent of TechnologyOne’s new annual recurring revenue to its charity partners. It also donates one per cent of the company’s annual net profit after tax.

In FY23, the Foundation made a significant impact, giving back $856,849 to the community through donations to 85 charitable causes, including our key charity partners. It also committed $579,000 worth of TechnologyOne software product discounts to not-for-profit organisations. The dedication of the company’s employees was also evident, as they volunteered over 5,340 hours to the Foundation’s partners and other community organisations.

The high level of engagement from the company’s leadership and employees was key to the Foundation’s success. This was complemented by TechnologyOne’s financial support for the Foundation and its initiatives, particularly through the Pledge 1% promise, which clearly outlines charitable targets and a funding budget.

TechnologyOne’s Foundation Champions—representatives from all business units and regions—ensure the Foundation delivers on its strategy. Enabling employees to volunteer for a worthy cause in the communities and offering a dollar-matching program for all donations and fundraising has also contributed to the Foundation’s overall success.
