Professional Journey
Bird’s route into enterprise software ran through operations rather than technology. He began his career working internationally in logistics and procurement, and then returned to Europe to implement Oracle systems within the oil and gas industry, which gave the business he later founded its early grounding in Aberdeen’s energy sector.
He founded Inoapps in 2006 as a partner focused solely on Oracle. The company has grown through both organic expansion and acquisitions into a business offering implementation, cloud migration, managed services and hosting across Oracle’s portfolio, and it describes itself as an Oracle CSPE-accredited cloud service provider. Its North American growth has been a particular focus. In 2022, following an investment by Boston-based Abry Partners, Inoapps acquired Tier1, a Pittsburgh-based Oracle services specialist, adding on-premises Oracle technology and applications services, a managed services business and private cloud infrastructure. Bird said at the time that the deal continued the company’s plan to become the biggest Oracle-only partner in the world.
In June 2026 Inoapps announced the acquisition of KS2 Technologies, which brought 30 years of Oracle practice for homebuilders along with JD Edwards and OCI capability. The deal supports Inoapps’ push to extend its Oracle Fusion-based Construction Cloud offering into homebuilding and residential real estate. Inoapps now reports more than 450 certified consultants and maintains offices in Aberdeen and Houston.
