Systematic at a glance
Systematic’s mission is to “Simplifying critical decision making”. In essence it is to deliver IT solutions that make it simpler for users to make crucial decisions in demanding situations.
Since we were founded in 1985, we have developed into an international IT company first and foremost based on
organic growth that focuses on two key business areas: Defence and Healthcare and focused areas within Intel-ligence & National Security, Library & Learning, Renewables & Utilities and Digitalisation of the public sector. A common denominator of all these sectors is a need to integrate, compare and analyse large volumes of complex data, to make sense out of the data and to generate an overview that allows decision-making based on a solid data driven foundation, often in critical situations. That is why “Simplicity” is a keyword for Systematic. The solu-tions must be quick, simple and efficient to use while at the same time hiding the inherent complexity for the users.
We supply user-friendly solutions that have been thoroughly tested, trialled in real life, and are available for immediate delivery and deployment. Rather than spending time, resources and precious funds on one-off, bespoke development projects, customers can acquire our off-the-shelf products that will cover the vast majority of their requirements.
Systematic is privately owned and headquartered in Århus, Denmark. We have offices in Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Romania, Sweden, New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, the UK and the USA and we have partners in 15 countries.
Each day, thousands of people depend on Systematic’s products and solutions for support in making critical decisions. We have more than one million users across more than 50 countries.
Our Business areas
Defence is genuinely part of the Systematic Group DNA as this is what kickstarted the company and is the busi-ness area that has fostered the majority of our growth and internationalisation during the past. Command and control (C2) is our primary target market, addressed via our product suite offerings of primarily SitaWare (C2) and
IRIS (defence interoperability) for all military and related services.
A few business highlights to mention for 2022/23 are within Defence the expansion of the partnership with the British Army, by deploying SitaWare at large scale with 1,400 new software licenses for SitaWare Headquarters, the Italian Army joining as a new customer for us within NATO and Poland’s armoured forces acquiring SitaWare Frontline as the C2 system equipped in their new Abrams tanks.
In Healthcare we provide IT solutions for the health, care and social sector by digitalising the continuum of care. This is primarily represented through our Columna product portfolio with Clinical Information Systems (CIS) platform securing a fully integrated EHR service (electronic health record), and our Cura platform assisting care professionals in both hospitals and municipalities. In addition we provide a comprehensive interoperability, collaboration and real-time logistically platform called Flow for the service and clinical personnel in hospitals.
For Healthcare continuous implementation and aligning the use of our electronic health record, Columna CIS, in all hospitals across Central Region Denmark, Region South Denmark and Region North Denmark and the inter-national expansion continued in Healthcare with wins with our Flow platform in Finland and the Netherlands. In Denmark we have won 3 additional customers on Cura totalling 36 municipalities using the system.
In Library and Learning we provide IT solutions which digitalise and support administration, collaboration and innovation at libraries and educational institutions. This is represented through our future-proof Cicero product portfolio. Cicero is the IT backbone for both public and school libraries supporting librarians, patrons, and stu-dents.
In Renewables & Utilities we support the offshore wind industry with safe, effective, and innovative IT solutions. Our SITE product portfolio is the foundation for securing safe and effective marine Coordination in the develop-ment, operations, and maintenance of offshore wind farms. We see this as an important contribution for sustain--able development through boosting the level of digitalisation.
Within Intelligence & National Security we support police forces and intelligence services with solutions and services for border control, emergency response setups and police systems. Supported by classified knowledge management solutions and complex mission critical solutions integrating mobility and situational awareness.
Digitalisation adds value to public and private enterprises through a variety of complex and business critical IT projects combining a high degree of user-friendliness with significant efficiency improvements.
In line with previous years, we have in 2022/23 continued investing extensively in our product portfolios to sustain and improve the competitive edge of our core products.
Customer focus and Business Case certainty
Since we in Systematic in 2005 achieved our first CMMI© level 5 accreditation for software development proces-ses, we have maintained the highest possible accreditation through a series of appraisals conducted every 3rd year, lastly in 2021 and next time in 2024. It is not the actual certification and associated brand image that drives and motivates Systematic to continually invest in aim for the highest maturity level in software development. The driving motivator are the benefits in the higher quality of our solutions, reduction of re-work, the ability to move people around between projects as we have agreed and well used processes and the stability and the assurance that Systematic deliver on time – factors that are extremely important to our customers working in stressed environments with highly mission critical tasks.
The CMMI© accreditation at level 5 is not matched by any other Scandinavian company and in Europe less than 20
IT companies hold it in.
