Contour Software, with offices in Karachi, Lahore & Islamabad, has recently partnered with P@SHA, The Pakistan Software House Association, to serve as a corporate sponsor for its 2019 ICT Awards ceremony to be held at Faletti’s Hotel, Lahore on September 21st, 2019. Contour Software (Pvt.) Ltd. started from 13 employees (Karachi) in 2010 and has recently crossed 600 employees across Pakistan.
As a subsidiary of Constellation Software Inc. (CSI), Contour Software is proud to be part of a global enterprise software conglomerate that has grown to become the largest Canadian software company, with employees and customers in 100+ countries. CSI is the best performing stock on the S&P/TSX over an 8-year period, has out-performed the FAANG stocks since its IPO in 2006, and is acknowledged as the global Top Strategic Acquirer of Software companies, 2017 onwards.
Incoming companies acquired by Constellation gain from the operational and strategic improvement capabilities and experience of CSI as well as the advantages of being part of a global organization, yet retain ownership and control of their business unit’s culture and decision-making. The speed, simplicity and discretion involved in our pre-acquisition evaluation process, and all the other benefits listed above, are now available to companies operating in Pakistan, as they can become a part of Constellation via Contour. Contour’s track record of success in Pakistan, as a stable presence and employer of choice, is a key additional benefit of the association, for incoming companies.
Constellation focuses on Acquiring, Building & Managing Industry-Specific/Vertical Market Enterprise Software companies, for life – hence their motto: Software for Life. Globally, Constellation’s investment criteria are to focus on Industry-specific software products, with companies that have preferably $ 2 Million in annual revenue ($1M at least), and no profit threshold. The company philosophy is to embrace stability, preferring to grow and hold businesses ‘for life’. With more than 20 years’ experience and numerous acquisitions to date, CSI is proud to say that they have never sold a core business.
CSI and Contour Software invest in their people and work with them to develop the next generation of leaders in the organization. For any and all business inquiries, contact Bilal Mahmood at [email protected].
