Civica provides software solutions and services to the public sector, namely local government, social housing, law enforcement and education.

The company enjoys a strong market position in the UK and Australia. It also has a well established presence in the US, Singapore and the south east Asian market. Civica’s 1,700 clients include 90% of UK local authorities and police forces, as well as the majority of Australia’s local authorities.

In total, its systems support transactions with 25 million citizens and businesses, and help manage over €5bn of revenue.

Civica’s strategy is to become the principal international provider of software products and services to the public sector in its chosen markets. Scaling the business aggressively is core to meeting this end.

The company will drive further development of both managed services and outsourcing services across its customer base.

Combining leadership in domestic markets with a superb platform for international growth, the company is well placed to continue developing innovative products in one location and migrate them globally.

Civica will continue its acquisitive growth, seeking both fill-in purchases that widen the range of customers and solutions, and strategic mergers that deliver step changes in scale.
