SCISYS PLC is a Pan-European computer software and services company based in the United Kingdom and Germany.

Overview

SCISYS is a medium-sized bespoke software and services company working in a wide range of markets and technologies.

History

SCISYS was formed in 1980 as Science Systems and its shares were listed on London's Alternative Investment Market in 1997. SCISYS acquired CODA, an accounting software company, in 2000, which was demerged as a separate listed company in 2006.[1][2] In 2002, the group holding company was renamed CODASciSys plc, becoming SciSys plc on the 2006 split.

In 2007, SCISYS purchased a private Bochum-based German company, VCS AG.[3] VCS produces software, computer systems and telecommunications systems for broadcasting, and services for public and private sector satellites. In January 2012 VCS renamed to SCISYS Deutschland GmbH as part of a wider integration exercise.

In May 2012, SCISYS rebranded, bringing the business divisions operating under the same name (UK operations changing from SciSys to SCISYS) and branding.

In October 2012, SCISYS purchased the space market elements of the German company MakaluMedia.

In December 2014 SCISYS announced the acquisition of Xibis Limited[4] a mobile and web development firm.
