History[edit]
Azeus was founded in Hong Kong by Lee Wan Lik in 1991. Lee graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with degrees in Computer Science and Engineering, and Mathematics. The company started with three employees providing software development, system integration, and system maintenance for various departments and agencies of the Hong Kong Government. Through its innovative solutions, Azeus delivered notable technological milestones in its early years of operation.
Recognitions[edit]
In 2003, Azeus was one of the first 30 organizations worldwide to acquire a Level 5 appraisal under the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). The CMMI standard was developed by the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University which involves an assessment of a software company's core processes including project management and support. Azeus has maintained its CMMI Level 5 appraisal up to the present day.[8]
Azeus was also the first organization to be awarded by the Hong Kong Government in 2004 with a full-office outsourcing contract to provide IT consulting, maintenance, and support services. That same year, Azeus was publicly listed in the Singapore Exchange Main Board (SGX).
Notable brands and products[edit]
Azeus launched Convene in February 2011, which was first originally called Anywhere Pad. It is a meeting and document collaboration technology for organization leaders. In 2014, the product was renamed and rebranded as Convene[9] to better reflect the original idea behind the product's development. By 2018, Convene has been developed to support eleven international languages[10] including German, Japanese, and Chinese, in line with the product's global reach.
By March 2014, the company launched AzeusCare which is a case management solution designed for social care and health workers. By April 2020, Azeus successfully launched ConveneAGM which serves as a platform that facilitates remote and hybrid annual general meetings of organization's stakeholders, It was launched in the Philippines in 2021.[11] The product supported the guidelines implemented by stock exchanges and authorities in conducting AGMs safely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
