Overview
LiveTiles is an Australian-founded enterprise software brand focused on digital workplaces, intranets, employee communications, and workplace applications. Its products were designed primarily for organizations using Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft 365, Azure, and SharePoint. The company developed cloud-based tools intended to help employers assemble branded intranets, publish internal information, connect employees with business systems, and provide mobile access to workplace resources. The business was founded in 2014 by Karl Redenbach and Peter Nguyen-Brown after the sale of their information-technology consultancy, nSynergy, to Rhipe. LiveTiles subsequently became a public company through the reverse acquisition of coal company Modun Resources Limited and was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2015. The initial public offering raised approximately A$57 million. This gave LiveTiles public-market capital with which to expand its product portfolio and pursue acquisitions in workplace software and artificial intelligence. Acquisitions were central to the company's development. In 2018, LiveTiles bought Hyperfish, a United States-based Microsoft artificial-intelligence company, for approximately A$8.9 million. In 2019 it acquired Danish digital workplace provider Wizdom for a maximum consideration of approximately €30 million, and later that year acquired Swiss intranet provider CYCL AG in a transaction valued at approximately A$19 million. These deals broadened LiveTiles' capabilities in artificial intelligence, intranet design, employee experience, and workplace communications. In 2021, the company also acquired My Net Zero, a climate-solution application. LiveTiles marketed a range of offerings, including LiveTiles Mosaic for schools and K–12 education, LiveTiles Commercial for business customers, LiveTiles Reach for mobile access, LiveTiles Intranet and LiveTiles Everywhere for digital workplace and intranet deployment, and LiveTiles Quantum for artificial intelligence, employee wellness, and communications. Mosaic was described as serving approximately 1.2 million users. The company also partnered with Microsoft in 2017 to establish AI Australia, an Australian artificial-intelligence development venture. The brand received recognition for its work in workplace technology and artificial intelligence. In 2018, Microsoft named LiveTiles its US Modern Workplace Transformation Partner of the Year, while the company also received the Best Application of AI in the Enterprise award at the AIconics AI Summit. LiveTiles' later corporate history was marked by restructuring and financial pressure. In October 2023, the company announced the departure of chief executive David Vander as part of a cost-reduction and restructuring program intended to move the business toward cash-flow breakeven. Public descriptions of the leadership transition were inconsistent, with Vander also reported as remaining chief executive after the announced departure. In December 2023, LiveTiles entered receivership under KordaMentha and trading in its securities on the ASX was suspended. The brand's current operating status, ownership, and continuing product availability therefore require further verification.
History
LiveTiles originated in Australia in 2014, when Karl Redenbach and Peter Nguyen-Brown established the company after the sale of their IT consultancy, nSynergy, to Rhipe. The founders pursued a software model centered on digital workplaces and intranets that could work with Microsoft's enterprise ecosystem. This focus placed LiveTiles within the expanding market for cloud-based employee portals, internal communications, and workplace applications. The company became publicly traded in 2015 through a reverse acquisition of Modun Resources Limited, a coal company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The transaction provided LiveTiles with a public-market listing, and the company reported an initial IPO raising of approximately A$57 million. In 2017, LiveTiles raised a further A$12 million through a share purchase plan. During this period it also partnered with Microsoft to launch AI Australia, an Australian artificial-intelligence development venture. LiveTiles expanded through acquisitions as it sought to combine intranet software with artificial intelligence and employee-experience capabilities. In May 2018, it acquired Hyperfish, a United States Microsoft AI firm, for approximately A$8.9 million. In February 2019, it acquired Wizdom, a Danish digital workplace software company, for a maximum total purchase price of approximately €30 million. In November of the same year, it acquired Swiss intranet provider CYCL AG for approximately A$19 million, comprising cash and shares. These transactions strengthened its geographic reach and added technology for intranet design, workplace communication, and artificial-intelligence-enabled employee services. The resulting portfolio included products for different customer segments and use cases. LiveTiles Mosaic was developed for K–12 educational institutions and was reported to have approximately 1.2 million users. LiveTiles Commercial targeted business organizations, while LiveTiles Reach provided mobile access. LiveTiles Intranet and LiveTiles Everywhere supported the creation and deployment of digital workplaces, and LiveTiles Quantum combined artificial intelligence with employee wellness and communications features. The company's stated markets included commercial, government, and education customers. LiveTiles received industry recognition during its expansion. In 2018, Microsoft presented it with the US Modern Workplace Transformation Partner of the Year award. The company also won Best Application of AI in the Enterprise at the AIconics AI Summit. These awards reflected its positioning around Microsoft integration and applied artificial intelligence rather than general-purpose consumer software. In December 2021, LiveTiles acquired My Net Zero, a climate-solution application, extending its portfolio beyond its core intranet and workplace products. The company later faced financial and operational pressure. In October 2023, it announced the departure of CEO David Vander as part of a restructuring and cost-reduction program designed to move the business toward cash-flow breakeven. Accounts of the transition indicated that Vander remained CEO despite the announcement concerning his departure. In December 2023, LiveTiles entered receivership and KordaMentha was appointed to manage the company. Trading in LiveTiles securities on the ASX was suspended at the same time. Because the available reference material does not establish a subsequent sale, liquidation, or confirmed operating structure, the brand's present status is best recorded as unknown and requires review.
