In the middle of Newcastle. Ok, we know that’s not quite Silicon Valley, but you get the picture. Our company started in 1993 with a DOS-based (ask your parents) document management system. Two years later, we became the first out-of-the-box intranet provider in the UK with Orchidnet. We evolved our intranet solution over the next fifteen years and powered some of the world’s leading organisations’ intranets across over fifty industry sectors. Working with our incredible customers, we listened a lot and that formed the core principles of Oak’s development and philosophy.
