Acquisition Strategy

We know that every business is unique, and we look at businesses holistically. We encourage companies interested in joining our portfolio to connect with us directly so we can best understand you and your business.

Permanent Capital

We buy businesses that we want to own forever. This translates into dedicated and purpose-driven teams continuously contributing to the development of technology in their sector.
Niche Software Is All We Do

For over two decades, the pursuit of mastery in vertical market software has allowed us to become one of the world's foremost software acquirers. This focus has led to a very specific circle of competence that transcends any specific vertical market.
Data-Driven Orientation

Our investment and operational decisions are informed by data and insights drawn from 1300+ successful businesses within the broader Constellation Software organization.
Autonomously Driven

Our leaders are closely aligned with the long-term success of their respective business units, allowing them to make the difficult choices that contribute to building a great company. For departing shareholders, this approach allows the organization to thrive, yet maintains what has made the business unique — all the while backed by our expertise, guidance, and permanent capital.
Sharing of Best Practices

We promote a collaborative environment and continuous learning events which gather our software companies' business leaders, department heads, and other stakeholders, creating opportunities for networking and cross-functional learning that result in continuous improvement.

Our Core Values

Dedicated to equipping software companies with the tools and industry expertise required to accelerate growth, retain independence, and maintain stability for their customers and employees.

Buy & Hold Forever

As a buy-and-hold acquirer, we invest in the long-term, sustainable success of your business. Your customers are the reason for the success of your company, which is why we will ensure they remain supported for life.

Growth Through Learning

Learning is the key to success. We encourage employees across all our businesses to share their expertise and best practices with their peers through our functional summits, quarterly strategy meetings, and annual academies. That way, we all grow together.

Autonomy

Our businesses operate independently in a decentralized structure. We believe our business leaders have intimate knowledge of their unique markets, and we provide them with the independence required to drive growth and success.

Trust Comes First

We believe in full transparency and ongoing communication, both throughout the acquisition process and beyond. We’re happy to connect you with other business owners who have chosen to join us, many of whom are similar in size and scope, to help you get a clear picture of what it’s like to to be part of the Constellation family.
