Systems Limited, one of Pakistan’s leading software and IT services firms, has officially announced its intent to explore the acquisition of a business operating in the Information Technology and IT-enabled services sector. The development was shared through a notification submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where Systems Limited is publicly listed under the ticker symbol SYS. The statement confirmed that the company’s Board of Directors, in a meeting held on July 23, 2025, authorized the management to evaluate a potential acquisition opportunity.
The notice clarified that the acquisition process remains in the preliminary stage and will be subject to a number of formal conditions. These include the conclusion of commercial negotiations, satisfactory completion of due diligence, execution of legally binding agreements, and clearance from regulatory authorities. The company has not disclosed the identity of the target business or the transaction size at this stage.
Systems Limited was established in 1977 as a private limited entity and became a public company in 2005. It was officially listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange in 2015. Over the decades, it has evolved into one of Pakistan’s most prominent software and business process outsourcing providers, assisting clients in modernizing their operations through technology solutions and digital transformation strategies. The company delivers services in software development, systems integration, data analytics, and enterprise IT solutions.
Its client portfolio spans multiple geographies, with a strong presence not only in Pakistan but also in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and the Middle East. Systems Limited has steadily expanded its global footprint and continues to align its offerings with the evolving needs of international clients in sectors such as finance, retail, telecom, healthcare, and government.
Earlier this year, in March, the company announced plans to double its investment in Saudi Arabia, positioning the kingdom as a major growth market. At the time, Systems Limited highlighted Saudi Arabia’s multi-sectoral depth and digital ambitions, including a substantial $100 billion commitment to Artificial Intelligence. The company stated that the Saudi market has the potential to scale three to five times more than its UAE operations, prompting a decision to enhance its presence and resources in the region.
With Saudi Arabia’s growing focus on AI and digital infrastructure, Systems Limited aims to leverage its technical expertise to contribute to the kingdom’s transformation goals. The company has signaled a long-term commitment to regional growth through talent expansion, service diversification, and capital investments. The potential acquisition under review further aligns with this broader strategic vision and demonstrates the company’s ongoing intent to deepen its capabilities and extend market reach in the IT and ITES domains.
