Vela Software Group

Vela Software Group is an operating group of Toronto-based Constellation Software, whose acquisition strategy dates to 1995. Vela acquires, manages and builds industry-specific software businesses across markets including automotive, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, travel and government.

Its distinctive model is permanent ownership with decentralized operations: acquired companies generally retain their brands, teams, offices and day-to-day autonomy, while gaining access to capital, operational guidance and software-industry expertise. Vela is especially strong at acquiring niche, mission-critical software businesses and supporting organic growth alongside further acquisitions.
