THE IDEA MAN
Roger Foster left school at 16, but qualified as a chartered accountant five years late. In
l965. with two colleagues and loans from their parents he set up ACT, designing
software systems and offering computer programming services to corporate acounting
departments.
After two years, ACT started making a profit. In fact, it was so successful that t became, in 1979, the first British software company to be listed on the Stock Exchange After distributing a US-made PC called the Sirius for a couple of years, ACT started manufacturing its own version in 1982. The result, the Apricot, was a phenomenal success.
But one trend Foster failed to spot proved fatal: the rise of IBM-compatible computing Margins on the Apricot computer began to be squeezed following the rise of cost-efficient, PC-clone manufacturers like Compaq Computer Corp. Sales stagnated in 1986 at around $164m, the high set in 1985. In the end, ACT was forced to sell the Apricot business.
Misys PLC, a UK software house bought ACT in 1995.
Foster's latest brainchild is Financial Objects, founded in October 1995. The company is compiling a library of software components that companies can then slot together as they wish, something like Lego software.
The company is the second-largest in its field in the UK, behind Misys - but that's a pretty small field. Foster remains confident - but he stresses that he doesn't need the money: 'It's my swansong. I don't want other directorships and to go to a board meeting every other month'.
Would he ever leave Financial Objects in the same way he left Apricot and ACT? 'Financial Objects has the potential to grow at 30% to 40% as far as the eye can see, and I want to take it all the way', he predicts. But he adds, 'maybe there is a size at which it is time to move'.
