OUR STRUCTURE

ABOUT HARRIS

Software and services that empower customers to deliver on their mission.
Harris provides mission-critical software solutions for the Public Sector, Healthcare, Utilities, and Private Sector verticals throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Harris is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation Software, Inc (CSI), a publicly-traded company on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Trading symbol CSU. Harris was founded with a bold vision to revolutionize the software industry by creating innovative solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of specific sectors. With a focus on customer success, the company quickly recognized untapped opportunities in industries such as utilities, where most companies were still relying on outsourced solutions for essential functions. This insight led to the development of in-house software systems, providing businesses with greater control over their operations while improving efficiency. As the company continued to grow, Harris expanded its reach globally, gaining recognition in markets across the Caribbean, Australia, and New Zealand. However, the journey to tackle more complex markets like the U.S. required a new partnership to navigate the vast and diverse landscape. This led to a strategic alliance that enabled Harris to scale its business and meet the evolving demands of its clients. Even after transitioning to a new ownership structure, Harris continued to take pride in the company's ongoing success, knowing that the foundation built on customer-focused innovation and adaptability had laid the groundwork for its lasting impact.
LocalGov, along with Sidwell and Altai, is here to support the needs of our customers.
