ThinkNet Ventures

How serious are we about R&D? We’re so committed to R&D and solving business problems that we have our own venture fund that turns our R&D into products for the marketplace.  Here are some of our successes:

Microsoft’s next generation of collaborative software, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007, opens the door to unparalleled business productivity.  By enabling and empowering people to work together using the web and powerful work flow, document management, and business intelligence foundations, SharePoint 2007 will revolutionize businesses.   For the last several years ThinkNet has invested heavily in SharePoint R&D and created a multitude of web parts and SharePoint-based solutions. ThinkNet has spun out SharePoint HQ into a separate company to focus this knowledge and R&D to deliver the best SharePoint implementations for businesses.

QlikViewHQ offers consulting, training and performance management solutions for the QlikView business intelligence platform. By specializing only in QlikView we provide the expertise to meet the business intelligence needs of your company. Our consulting, training and solutions guarantee that your organization’s end users, teams and key decision makers will be able to make the right decisions, at the right the time, based on  real time information.

PerformancePoint Server 2007 represents Microsoft’s entry into a consolidated business intelligence marketplace that is dominated mainly by integrated stack vendors and small, specialized innovators.  As a stack vendor, Microsoft PerformancePoint Server 2007 provides users with a complete, integrated business intelligence solution, efficiently transforming disparate back-end data into meaningful, customized, front-end information.

In response to the new BI landscape, ThinkNet has launched PerformancePointHQ.   The new division offers business process consulting, performance management based financial solutions, and training based on the PerformancePoint Server 2007 platform. In particular, PerformancePointHQ, through PerformancePoint’s planning, budgeting and forecasting capabilities, leverages ThinkNet’s vast technical and financial accounting experience to provide clients with comprehensive custom performance management financial solutions.

Early on in our financial forensics practice we recognized the need to have a bullet-proof auditing system that could be integrated with any application to provide detailed, transaction-level forensic evidence that would positively identify who did what, where and when with corporate data. The result was ThinkNet’s AuditMaster product which supported Microsoft SQL Server and Pervasive database applications.

AuditMaster was distributed globally through a network of 1500 resellers.  AuditMaster was licensed under Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) agreements to major Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) vendors, such as Sage and Epicor.  The company was acquired by Pervasive Software in April 2003, and is now part of Pervasive software’s product offerings. You can read more about AuditMaster here, and in many industry publications, such as:

AuditMaster continues to be utilized as the integrated audit trail of many applications including Sage’s PFW ERP system.

Managing and growing a company with dozens of branch offices is a challenging problem. How about hundreds or thousands of locations? That’s the challenge of today’s large franchise restaurant operators. There’s a lot more to running a successful restaurant chain than serving good meals. Managing just-in-time inventory, understanding the true costs of product and labour, effectiveness of market campaigns, and the profitability of the menu mix are just a few of the real challenges. Leveraging ThinkNet’s R&D in databases and financial algorithms, ThinkNet developed the IntelliGauge Restaurant Management System.

IntelliGauge was implemented nationwide by Harvey's quick service restaurants.

IntelliGauge was spun out of ThinkNet in 2003 as a separate company and raised significant venture capital from Vengrowth and BDC.

IntelliGauge remains a portfolio company of both venture capital firms.
