Revenue growth in all divisions

Visma continues its strongest growth in the two software divisions.

BPO division continued the trend in increasing revenue growth rate, growing at 13.0 percent for the quarter.

Strong SaaS-growth

The demand for SaaS services is steadily increasing. Revenue from SaaS Software Solutions grew by 83 percent, year-on-year, driven by strong organic growth and strategic SaaS acquisitions.

School software acquisitions

The acquisition activity was very active in the second quarter with seven completed transactions in total. Two of the acquisitions were within the school admin software area; StarSoft, the leading Finnish school software system and VSware, the leading Irish school software.

-The school sector is a key area for Visma. The acquisitions of StarSoft and VSware strengthens Visma’s position as school software provider in northern Europe. Our main driver is to reduce the administrative overhead and contribute to increase the productivity in everyday operations for educational institutions, says Øystein Moan.
