Tigerspike is a software company headquartered in Sydney. It was founded in 2003 by Luke Janssen, Oliver Palmer, and Dean Jezard.[1][2][3][4] Tigerspike was acquired by Concentrix in 2017, and rebranded as Concentrix Tigerspike in 2020.

History

[edit]

Tigerspike was founded in 2003 in Sydney, Australia.[4] In 2008, Tigerspike opened its Innovation Lab, which focuses on new technologies, including encryption and compression.[4] The lab is headed by Oliver Palmer.[4]

In 2011, Tigerspike secured a US$ 11 million investment from Aegis Group.[3][5] The same year, Tigerspike was featured on Forbes’ list of America’s Most Promising Companies and expanded into Singapore.[6][7]

Tigerspike released Karacell, a quantum computing encryption technology designed for mobile devices in 2012.[8]

In July 2017, Tigerspike became part of Concentrix, a business services company and a wholly owned subsidiary of SYNNEX Corporation[9] (NYSE: SNX).

In November 2020, Tigerspike announced that it was changing its operating name to Concentrix Tigerspike.[10] As of 2024, Concentrix has removed mention of the Tigerspike brand entirely.

Concentrix Tigerspike has designed and developed applications for print media companies such as The Economist and Haaretz.[1][11] Their cloud-based service platform is used by clients including Pepsi, Vodafone and the World Wide Fund for Nature.[3] The company also developed the ICSA Blueprint BoardPad app, an enterprise app used for board meetings and agenda for 71 of the FTSE 100 companies.[12]
