Jannie Pretorius Joins minisoft as CTO

Minisoft, Inc., the undisputed leader in legal collections software for more than 35 years, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jannie Pretorius as Chief Technology Officer. Jannie joins minisoft after serving as Chief Product Officer at DIDx and, before that, as Chief Technology Officer at OneVault.

Jannie brings a rare combination: a builder's instincts from leading frontier technology at DIDx and OneVault, where there was no established playbook, and a deep understanding of security and regulation from working on projects with the government and the South African Reserve Bank. Across his career he has worked in sectors from contact centers to digital identity, with clients in banking, insurance and automotive.

"The best innovation is practical. It isn't about using new technology for the sake of it. It's about disrupting in a way that actually matters to the people who rely on you. Minisoft's clients trust us with the financial health of their firms, and that demands technology that is secure, dependable and always improving.

"My focus is simple: shorten the distance between a good idea and a feature in our clients' hands. That means proper platform engineering on a modern cloud foundation, and a steady rhythm of new features, week by week and month by month.
Minisoft has 35 years of trust behind it. I'm excited to build the technology that carries that trust into its next chapter."

Faster from idea to impact

Jannie's appointment comes as minisoft invests more deeply than ever in its technology. As part of CORA Legal Group, backed by Constellation Software (TSX: CSU), the company has the long-term stability to build for the future, starting with the next generation of ARCS.

Under Jannie's leadership, minisoft's engineering will be built on modern cloud platform engineering and a faster, more regular release cadence. His startup background brings a commercial edge to every decision: new technology, including purpose-driven AI, earns its place by solving real problems for law firms.

"As we expand our global team, we’re investing in the people who will help our clients succeed in the years ahead. We went searching for exceptional talent, and Jannie stood out. We have great admiration for his technical ability and judgement, and I’m confident his leadership will shape minisoft’s technology future and deliver lasting value for our clients worldwide."

For our clients, the message is simple: the platform you already trust is going to get better, faster, led by someone who understands both innovation and the security your firm depends on.
