Contour Software, with offices in Karachi, Lahore & Islamabad, started from 13 employees in 2010, and has recently reached 600 employees across Pakistan. As a subsidiary of Constellation Software Inc. (CSI), we are proud to be part of a global enterprise software conglomerate that has grown to become the largest Canadian software company, with employees and customers in 100+ countries. CSI is the best performing stock on the S&P/TSX over an 8-year period, has out-performed the FAANG stocks since its IPO in 2006, and is acknowledged as the global Top Strategic Acquirer of Software companies, 2017 onwards.
With Constellation's pre-existing large portfolio of product divisions, and a steady pipeline of vertical market enterprise software companies getting acquired into the fold, Contour is set to continue to grow steadily over the coming years. To enable this continuous growth, Contour is expanding its footprint by increasing its investment in facilities and premises to be able to house a much larger group of employees. On 11th March 2019, the High Commissioner of Canada Hon Wendy Gilmour joined Dexter Salna, the President of the Perseus Operating Group of CSI, and Bonnie Wilhelm, the CFO, who were on a visit to Pakistan to meet some of their Contour staff, to pre-inaugurate Contour's new premises in Karachi.
Since then, Contour's Karachi team has settled into their modern, custom-designed premises, which more than doubles the Karachi office capacity, to allow for housing up to 800 staff. In a similar vein, on 21st March 2019, Sean Raynor, General Manager Constellation Dealership Systems North America, along with R&D Managers Eric Tchokonte& Timothy Dyck, joined the Contour team to inaugurate the start of office expansion to double Contour Lahore's size to house up to 300+ staff. In coming weeks, Contour Islamabad is set for an expansion to allow for housing well over 100 staff.
Employment at Contour involves work on market-leading, industry-specific enterprise systems, international training and professional development opportunities, collaboration with senior and seasoned international experts, exposure to a smorgasbord of industry domains and technologies under one roof, and an employer and work environment that facilitates and encourages inclusion and long-term retention. Contour Software's MD Mr.
Bilal Mahmood states that, "Our track record of performance is such that every week we are growing by 5-6 employees, and yet our backlog of openings remains the same due to the same number of new positions being posted weekly. Smart, driven and dedicated people are our fuel, and can count on fulfilling long-term careers at Contour." In recognition of Contour's positive impact in terms of mutually beneficial trade between Canada and Pakistan, Bilal Mahmood received the Canada Pakistan Business Council's capstone Business Excellence Award for 2019.
With a broad-based and ever-growing portfolio of market-leading, vertical-market enterprise solutions covering more than 75 industry domains in predominantly mature markets, CSI's recipe creates the perfect environment for software industry professionals to build fulfilling, long-term careers. Incoming companies acquired by Constellation gain from the operational and strategic improvement capabilities and experience of CSI as well as the advantages of being part of a global organization, yet retain ownership and control of their business unit's culture and decision-making.
The speed, simplicity and discretion involved in our pre-acquisition evaluation process, and all the other benefits listed above, are now available to companies operating in Pakistan, as they can become a part of Constellation via Contour. Contour's track record of success in Pakistan, as a stable presence and employer of choice, is a key additional benefit of the association, for incoming companies.
Constellation focuses on Acquiring, Building & Managing Industry-Specific/Vertical Market Enterprise Software companies, for life - hence our motto: Software for Life.
