Brendan Mooney, CEO of Kainos, discussed the company's origins and growth in a 2019 interview, noting that it began with Queen's University supplying graduates to Fujitsu for complex software projects, including work on the Oyster card and BT's fixed-line network. He described Kainos' focus on understanding customer needs, stating that "generally large companies tend to be very myopic about the customer need" and that demonstrating value to customers is key to competing. Mooney also addressed the UK healthcare system's reliance on paper, saying "the biggest purchaser of fax machines in the world is the NHS" and that Kainos helps remove paper from hospital care processes. In a 2017 interview, Mooney outlined Kainos' two divisions: Digital Services, which builds digital platforms for large clients and implements Workday software, and Digital Platforms, which includes healthcare products like EMR and Integrated Care. He noted growth opportunities in Germany, Benelux, Australia, and the US, and said the company's R&D expenditure was £4.2 million. Mooney highlighted a low attrition rate of 6% and emphasized that key performance indicators include contract wins in new regions and the adoption of products like Smart, which he expected to reach 100 clients.
