How Intapp changed with its market

Intapp was founded in December 2000 as Tsunami Software by Thad Jampol, Dan Harsell and Vera Newman, initially developing software to connect data and systems inside professional firms.

How Intapp developed

It increasingly specialised in legal, accounting, consulting and financial-services organisations, where conflict checking, compliance, relationship intelligence and deal workflows have distinctive requirements. Intapp became publicly traded on Nasdaq in 2021.

Intapp in 2026

By 2026, Intapp provided AI-enabled cloud software for professional and financial services, spanning client development, risk, compliance and operational workflows.

Why the history matters

Its niche illustrates the value of industry-specific software: professional-services firms have information and regulatory needs that are not always well served by generic enterprise applications.
