The Influential Software story
Digital pioneers
1993: the year the first webcam came online (at one frame per second).
The term “digital transformation” hadn’t been coined yet, but IT gurus Andy Richardson and John Simpson saw the potential. In fact, they staked their careers on it — and so Influential Software was born.
Today, CEO Andy and CIO John are still at the helm, and Influential Software is almost 30 years young.
In those three decades, we’ve served everyone from Pret-a-Manger to HM Treasury, Bloomsbury to John Lewis, and American Express to Cambridge University Press.
With seasoned hands and fresh recruits working side-by-side, we are confidently growing into the next 30 years and beyond.
