Ottawa-based Versaterm acquires Texas software firm in 10th M&A deal since 2020 –
Summary
Ottawa software company Versaterm’s aggressive strategy of growth through acquisitions continued this week as the firm pulled the trigger on another M&A deal. Versaterm – which makes software that helps police forces, fire departments and other public safety agencies manage their operations – announced Thursday it has acquired Texas-based Integrated Computer Systems. Founded in 1975 and headquartered in McKinney, Tex., Integrated Computer Systems specializes in computer-aided dispatch (CAD), mobile data client and comprehensive records management (RMS) systems used by 911 dispatchers, police, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel across the state. The firm’s longtime CEO said his company was on a mission to “smooth out workflows” for police officers, firefighters and other first responders. Over the past few years, the firm has diversified its tech stack by acquiring other companies with capabilities that complement its offerings, such as a California-based enterprise whose products transform android phones into body cameras with real-time video and audio-streaming capabilities.
