Company Overview
Happen Business
Happen Business Pty Limited is a privately owned company founded in
Australia, to commercialise, develop and sell the mission-critical
business application (including a back-office accounting system) known
as Jim2 Business Engine.
Jim2 Business Engine is the core product in our line of business
software. Although Jim2 includes a full accounting back-end, its
primary focus is to provide a front-end interface to manage business
workflow, business processes, and to provide a quality system framework.
Most established business software applications are primarily
developed to produce a set of financial records and do not focus on how
businesses created that result. There is a void from these products to
focus on and manage the process with real data and not just watch the
bottom line. In fact, they are primarily designed to inform management
of a company's financial condition long after it has conducted its
business.
In contrast, Jim2 adopts a business perspective on workflow
processes, managing, tracking and controlling the inputs that drive the
financial result. Jim2 then also goes on to producing a set of
financial records.
Jim2 technology was designed by Paul Berger (now Technical Director)
and the staff at P2 Computing Pty Limited. The original Jim (DOS
version) was developed in 1990, out of a desperate need to find some
decent software to run our own business. We couldn't find anything
appropriate so we wrote our own. The original Jim was in constant use
for nine years.
With the introduction of Windows, and the (then) need to cater for
Y2K and GST issues, we set about redesigning the original Jim in 1998.
Both Jim and Jim2 were used in tandem during the development/alpha test
stages of the new version.
Jim2 now represents a substantial move away from running small to medium sized businesses via standard accounting software.
