Acquires and grows mission-critical vertical software

Harris Computer builds and grows a portfolio of mission-critical software for vertical markets such as Public Sector, Healthcare, Utilities, and Insurance across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

Its approach differs by combining many niche software companies under one umbrella, backed by Constellation Software, with a focus on long-term ownership and stability for mission-critical customers. Its goal is to grow and manage a broad portfolio of specialized software businesses, creating value through enduring ownership and shared expertise so each company reliably serves its vertical markets.
