The History of the Jonas Construction Portfolio

In June 2003, Constellation Software acquired Gary Jonas Computing Ltd, a functionally rich suite of products for the private club and construction industries. Now known as Jonas Software, the company has grown into a family of over 140 software companies today in over 40 different verticals around the world.

Why is Jonas a good home for your Construction/Field Service company?

Jonas Software’s strategy is to acquire, manage and build industry-specific software solutions through our ABCs:

• Autonomy – we have a decentralized structure and do not seek to take over the day-to-day operations of our companies. Premier, an initiative that was started by Jonas, has maintained its own brand and has been run as an autonomous group since 2010.
• Buy & Hold Forever – since our beginnings in 2003, Jonas has never sold a company it has acquired. Jonas Construction was part of the original acquisition by Jonas in 2003. Given the success of the business, we were able to take a long-term view and the business has grown tremendously under Jonas’ ownership over the last two decades.
• Culture of Sharing Best Practices – we place a high value on sharing our experiences on how to run great software companies with those who are a part of the Jonas family through educational events, webinars, etc. As listed above, we now own 7 companies in the Construction/Field Service space, and the Business Unit Leaders running these companies are having frequent discussions on what they are seeing in the industry and other best practices.

The Jonas Construction companies deliver smart processes empowering greater efficiencies and visibility into our customers’ operations. We believe life is integrated into measuring twice and cutting once.  Never standing still and always moving forward and success is built upon people working together. Trust is earned by keeping promises, investing in our products and our people.  People are the best way to secure the future as it is about more than just software.

We believe in supporting the success of our customers, companies, and team.  We do this by taking the time to understand our customers’ unique needs, constantly improving to meet new business trends and making quality software.  Our team, from top to bottom, continually strives for excellence and are always ready to serve our customers.  We believe in hiring and investing in people that care about people.
