As we prepare to enter a new financial year, we wanted to share our focus for the path ahead.
Our vision at LiveTiles is to revolutionise the way humans interact with technology, and the way in which technology interacts with humans. To progress towards that vision, our purpose is to focus on simplifying the complex by designing solutions that focus on the human experience that gives everyone the ability to thrive. We believe that the world is a better place when people are free to do their best work.
With that vision and purpose in mind, we founded LiveTiles and started with a seemingly simple proposition to develop intranet software into something more beautiful and fun to engage with.
Since our first customer in 2015, our team has been working hard to progress against our vision and purpose with increasingly personalised experiences for people at work. Recent COVID-19 events have redefined for many of us what and where work entails and has provided additional meaning to our vision and purpose. Our team is hugely energised with the opportunity to help customers, supporting their employees to communicate and collaborate in the new world of remote and work from home productivity.
After the initial adrenaline surge, we also spent a heavy amount of time taking feedback and input from across our network, including our internal teams from around the world, founders from Wizdom, Hyperfish and CYCL, our customer advisory groups, partners, our Board and, most importantly, our customers.
We had commenced our integration and simplification work in 2019, and the temptation was high to defer until things became “normal” again. Instead, we reached a different conclusion, that it was critical for us to simplify our brand and product story for a range of stakeholders, and that it absolutely could not wait.
Since launching LiveTiles with our Page Designer product some five years ago, we have come a long way. The portfolio has changed significantly over those years, with:
Taken together, we have made great progress, and that requires some realignment along the way. However, the singular LiveTiles visions and purpose remains untouched, and we are thrilled a number of founders and partners have chosen to align their businesses with LiveTiles.
We are encouraged by the support of our teams worldwide as we move to simplify and realign our branding.
These are the key principles of simplifying our brand and product portfolio into a “branded house” versus a “house of brands”:
This is the combination of our professional services, consulting, and customer support expertise – the human touch helping customers to bring our platforms alive.
We have grouped our technology capabilities under four connected products, where customers can choose one or more products (and their modules) to build their digital workplace. A key element of each product is that they contain what we call “intelligent experiences”, where employees have data and notifications surfaced to them in a way that supports their context – in the office, mobile, late at night, the software applications they like to use. To achieve this, other key attributes include the products being highly data-driven, with the use of our AI investment alongside Microsoft, low-touch, modular and secure.
Recently, the technology research and advisory firm, Gartner, proclaimed the death of the traditional intranet, noting that “the modern intranet both consumes and produces services – it isn’t just a website… The modern intranet should go well beyond basic content management into collaboration, social interaction, application delivery, employee communications, mobile support, and applied artificial intelligence.”
Our vision for LiveTiles is deliberately long-term in nature and we look forward to continuing to pursue a bold, but long-term strategy.
We are extremely grateful to all of our customers and partners for their ongoing support and interest in LiveTiles.
Sincerely,
Karl Redenbach
