Looking back on 2021 | A year in review

2021 was a year of settling into “the new normal” where businesses found novel or unfamiliar ways of supporting their customers and extended compassion and understanding to their employees throughout the highs and lows experienced across the world. On a high note, Harris returned to pre-pandemic levels of acquisitive growth by welcoming twenty-two businesses across five countries.


Growth in 2021

Harris added several great businesses within our core verticals, as well as expanded into new verticals such as apprenticeships, recruitment and telecommunications. Harris businesses and their software solutions offer answers to complex problems, creating a lasting impact on their customers and end-users. Flagship solutions from our latest acquisitions include software that analyzes fraud and crime threats for security and intelligence analysts, streamlines student data for local and state-level education agencies, digitizes patient waiting rooms and intake for healthcare providers, and personalizes energy consumption and conservation reporting for utility providers and consumers.
