4 entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds came together with a vision to create technology and platforms in the BPM space. Each brought different skills to the table and took the big leap to build on
2000
The time until the turn of the century were the early years exploration and experiments to get the right formula to get it right and we did get it right, with 2 major consulting assignments at Arthur Andersen & Telco. We also signed up National Library Board of Singapore as our first major client.
We subsequently signed Prudential as a key insurance client that marked the start of our domain focus.
2003
We proudly released our first product suite – Dotsphere that enables end-to-end business process transformation with a content management system and a scanning tool that simplified and enhanced case management.
2005
The next few years were all about expanding across multiple geographies while staying in sync with our clients and their strategic goals.
At this time, we also rolled out implementations across Prudential entities in Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia, while a number of marquee insurance firms, including Aviva and Sunlife, deployed our Dotsphere Case Management product.

2016
We welcomed CEO, Partner and board member – Arsh Maini to the firm while strengthening the board further with retired regional CEO of a global insurance firm, Simon Newman, joining as a Non-Executive Director.
