Shinydocs Corporation is an Enterprise Software Company founded in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada in 2013.

History[edit]

Shinydocs was founded in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, CEO Jason W. D. Cassidy, David Yoon, Darcy Manderson, Khalid Merhi, and Simon Arsenault in 2013 as a transition to a product company from Enterprise File System Incorporated a new software product development consulting organization.

January 2014: Shinydocs begins development on interfaces for Enterprise Content Management systems while winding down consulting contracts with the intention of transitioning from consulting revenue to software license and subscription revenue.

March 2015: Shinydocs launches Shinydrive, a simplified interface for OpenText Content Suite.

July 2016: OpenText awards Shinydocs Technology Partner of the Year[1] as best selling 3rd party technology world-wide.

2016-2019: While continuing to sell Shinydrive worldwide, achieving two additional OpenText Technology Partner of the Year awards (2017[2], 2019), Shinydocs works with key customers on their largest problem identified that most important document and records content is outside their Enterprise Content Management systems[3] and still needs to be found and managed.

January 2019: Shinydocs launches Shinydocs Cognitive Suite with scalable document, file, media, and record analytics including Artificial Intelligence document classification and entity extraction. This allows Shinydocs to scale their product and sales beyond the Enterprise Content Management space to address issues with traditional file share storage, e-mail, cloud storage, and additional content management systems.

July 2021: Bruce Power wins IT World Canada Large Private Sector Innovation of the Year[4] leveraging Shinydocs Cognitive Suite to clean up, classify, and search important operational documents.

October 2022: Shinydocs partners with the FedDev Ontario[5] to develop and commercialize the Cognitive Suite into a scalable packaged software that does not require IT operators, and focuses on Privacy, Cybersecurity, Compliance, and Productivity.

March 2023: Shinydocs partners with First Ascent Ventures[6] and Export Development Canada[7] to compliment the earlier FedDev investment support of repackaging Shinydocs technology as a more scalable and transactional product in response to the increases pressures of Privacy and Cybersecurity risk[8] on all organizations.

September 15, 2023: Shinydocs releases Shinydocs Pro with a focus on Privacy, Cybersecurity, Compliance, and Productivity.
