Brisbane-based technology leader TechnologyOne has revealed plans to expand its popular Showcase event series internationally, with the first UK edition scheduled for February 2026. The announcement follows the successful completion of the company's 2025 Australian and New Zealand roadshow, which attracted significant industry attention.
Record-Breaking Australian Tour Sets Stage for Global Expansion
The recently concluded Showcase series demonstrated TechnologyOne's growing influence in the enterprise software market. More than 2,650 customers and industry leaders attended events across four cities throughout October 2025. The tour launched in Melbourne with 850 attendees witnessing the debut of TechnologyOne's new agentic AI product, Plus.
The roadshow continued to Wellington, where 350 participants gathered, followed by Sydney with 650 attendees, and concluded in Brisbane with 800 technology professionals. These events brought together key stakeholders from local government, higher education, and corporate sectors, connecting them directly with the development teams behind the software they use daily.
AI Innovation Takes Center Stage
Designed as a practical innovation experience, the Showcase events provided organisations with insights into supercharging their enterprise resource planning systems. The program featured what the company describes as "kick-ass tech sessions", deep-dive demonstrations, and real customer transformation stories.
The highlight of this year's events was the introduction of TechnologyOne's Plus product, an agentic AI solution scheduled for release to the company's global customer base in the coming months. As one of Australia's largest private R&D investors, TechnologyOne uses these events to place customers at the centre of its product development strategy.
From Brisbane Startup to ASX 50 Powerhouse
TechnologyOne's journey from local startup to international contender represents a significant Australian success story. Founded in 1987 by technology entrepreneur Adrian Di Marco, the company began as a Brisbane-based startup developing financial-management software. Their first product, FinanceOne, launched in 1991 during a pivotal shift toward relational databases in the global software industry.
The company has experienced remarkable growth since listing on the ASX in 1999, with revenue and profitability doubling approximately every five years. This consistent performance recently earned TechnologyOne a place among Australia's corporate elite when it joined the ASX 50 on September 8, 2025, alongside established giants like BHP, Qantas, and Commonwealth Bank.
Executive Vice-President of Consulting Services David Cope attributes the company's success to market focus and discipline. "We know the industries that we play in, and we specialise heavily in those," Cope says. "We're extremely successful in the chosen markets that we operate in, and there's ample opportunity in those marketplaces."
The company's integrated business model, known internally as the Power of One, enables faster product innovation and stronger customer relationships by maintaining control over design, development, sales, and support processes.
Ambitious Growth Targets and Global Aspirations
TechnologyOne's momentum shows no signs of slowing. The company achieved its $500 million annual recurring revenue target 18 months ahead of schedule and has now set its sights on reaching $1 billion by 2030. With a current valuation of $13 billion, the Brisbane-based firm continues to demonstrate the potential of Australian technology innovation on the global stage.
"Our ambition is to double in size every five years," Cope states, highlighting the company's rapid ascent from ASX 200 to ASX 50 status in just a few years.
The upcoming UK Showcase in February 2026 represents the next phase of TechnologyOne's international expansion strategy, building on existing operations across Asia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. This move signals the company's confidence in exporting Australian-developed enterprise software solutions to global markets while maintaining its commitment to local research and development.
