Acquiring and Operating Software Companies for the Long Term

Caudex is a software acquisition operating group within Jonas Software, part of Constellation Software Inc. We acquire vertical market software companies and provide them with a permanent home, backed by the resources and expertise of one of the world's largest software companies.

We focus on businesses that serve specialised industries with mission-critical software. When we acquire a company, we invest in its growth while preserving the culture, team, and customer relationships that made it successful.
