About us

More than 25 years of software innovation have made us who we are today: a pure play software company serving global needs.

What we do

Connected by software
– driven by people

We develop and deliver software to small businesses, medium businesses, and the public sector – improving the work-life of millions of people around the world. Our software simplifies and automates complex and manual work processes, empowering people’s everyday lives.

Visma is a collection of entrepreneurial companies, each with their own start-up mentality, personality, and leadership. All our companies have business autonomy and go-to-market freedom – a key ingredient to our growth.

How we grow

We buy brilliant businesses

From our early days in 1996, as a single Norwegian company with just over 300 employees, we’ve developed into one of Europe’s leading software companies. How? By being on the constant lookout for one-of-a-kind entrepreneurs and businesses.

With new companies joining forces with us almost weekly, we get to empower new markets, and together take software innovation to new heights.
