Constellation Software Snapshot
It can seem like there are nearly as many small software companies as there are stars in the sky, and Constellation Software wants to connect the dots. The company acquires small niche players to diversify the range of industries it serves. Holdings include Trapeze Group (public transit routing software), Harris Computer Systems (software and systems for utilities), Jonas Software (billing software for service industries), Emphasys Computer Solutions (public housing administration software), and Friedman Corporation (enterprise computing). Other units specialize in software for the criminal justice system, CourtView Justice Solutions, and software for homebuilders, Constellation Homebuilder Systems.
