 PROFILE
Geac is a software jack of all trades. Geac (pronounced "Gee-ack") Computer is Canada's largest software company, and one of the biggest global sellers of the software that corporations use to manage and automate business processes. The acquisitive company targets specific niche markets for its software, including libraries, banks, hotels, newspaper publishers, and police and fire dispatch operations. Geac, which went bankrupt in the mid-1980s, relies on maintenance, professional, and other ancillary services for about 70% of its sales. Geac generates about 60% of sales from North America. Amidst flagging sales the company has begun a restructuring program and is considering putting itself up for sale.
