Our take
With more than 20 years of experience and bootstrapped since birth, any other company management team would have slipped Equus Software into complacency. Instead, its founder and former CEO, Mark Thomas, has responded to tech innovations with unprecedented dexterity, having grown the company astronomically since 2009.
Throughout the 2020s, the flagship products under Equus’s belt have become mainstays of talent mobility. Its solutions provide a seamless way to managing remote and on-the-go teams, plus assistance in recruitment and onboarding. It also offers products to help companies save money, maintain communication and visibility, and expand to new territories without having to open an office there.
The success of Equus’s products, it claims, comes down to long-term client relationships and the growing global and remote needs of companies. As a background assistant for an increasingly globalized enterprise theatre, Equus has kept up with innovations and prospered because of it. Moving forwards, we expect it will continue to acquire global software companies and expand its product line.
