Our story
Peter Lewis spent more than 25 years building and running enterprise technology. Then he became an entrepreneur and an owner, and saw how much of a business still runs on memory, texts and scattered tools. Tenean is what he built when he brought the two together.
The story
“I spent my career in enterprise software. When I became an owner, I saw how much of a business still runs on memory and follow-up. So I brought the two together, and I run my own business on it.”
Peter Lewis · Founder, Tenean
Tenean's own business runs on Tenean too: the leads on this site, the calls to its line and the walkthroughs you book here land in the same inbox and calendar you would use.
The technologist
Senior Vice President of IT at Verisk Analytics, where he built the AIR Cloud platform from a blank page into an eight-figure business, and led enterprise data services at UKG.
The owner
Founder of Cadence Advisers, the software company that builds Tenean. He runs a salon suite studio in Sharon, Massachusetts end to end on Tenean: every lead, every tour, every lease, every repair and every dollar.
Why it matters to you
The discipline of enterprise software (one record, real numbers, AI with a person in charge) shaped by what an owner actually does all day.
The team
Tenean is built by Cadence Advisers, deliberately small and deliberately senior. Peter designs the platform and owns the customer relationship. Phillip owns whether it works, and whether it keeps working. It is not a new partnership: the two ran technology together at Verisk for years, Peter leading the global operation and Phillip leading Europe.
The Tenean team takes every walkthrough and answers support, in the same inbox the product runs on.
Founder
The platform's architecture and the customer relationship. More than 25 years in enterprise software, and a salon suite studio of his own that runs on Tenean every day.
Service delivery and support
The standard every deployment is held to before it reaches a customer, and the support that stands behind it once it is live. Eighteen years at Verisk, from technical services to Vice President of IT, leading its SOC 2 program to a perfect pass rate. A United States Marine Corps veteran. Works from London, so support covers a second time zone.
Why the name
From the Latin tenere, to hold. The root of retain, maintain, sustain and tenacity. Tenean holds your business together: every customer, every conversation, every job, in one place.
How Tenean is priced
Tenean reads your calendar, your inbox and your numbers, and writes out what needs you. It is priced as software, one monthly figure per location, never as a percentage of what you earn, and payments reach your bank exactly as they do today.
Your business owns its records, and your contacts export as a spreadsheet whenever you want them.
