Being part of a global organisation benefits our local customers.

21 Jul, 2024

Since being acquired by Volaris Group in 2021, AMS has thrived and grown from strength to strength. The roots of AMS remain firmly planted in New Zealand, being established securely on our 40+ year history serving some of New Zealand’s largest organisations.

Our commitment has always been to New Zealand organisations, particularly within the public sector, and we have remained unwavering in our focus on success in Aotearoa. Volaris Group's ethos perfectly aligns with our vision, as they prioritise nurturing the companies they acquire for long-term prosperity. Volaris has not sold any business acquired in the last 25 years.

Specialising in software companies, and armed with expertise in software development and delivery, and an emphasis on autonomy, Volaris empower their companies. Enabling them to thrive in their respective markets, Volaris provides best practise insights and guidance on technologies as well as expertise to all parts of AMS business. Volaris is part of Constellation Software, a publicly listed company, and one of the largest software companies in the world, which further enhances AMS’s proficiency and stability.

The Volaris ‘buy-and-hold forever’ strategy sets them apart 

What sets Volaris Group apart is its approach to business, offering what they describe as a "stable, forever home" for the companies under their umbrella. They enable their businesses to operate autonomously, trusting their leaders to know what’s best for their customers and market.

“At Volaris, we don’t believe in developing exit strategies for the businesses we acquire. Instead, we maintain a "buy and hold forever" strategy.”

In Volaris, AMS is part of a world-wide knowledge-sharing community

On a scale unlike almost any other organisation, Volaris fosters a global community of non-competing, like-minded peers from over 300 software companies, facilitating events, sharing knowledge, access to resource, development support and lessons learned. AMS attends and benefits from these connections and events regularly, including a recent Volaris Group Global AI summit, from which AMS has now developed an AI strategy and an upcoming Conference on Security. We are attending a conference later this year, along with all 300+ Volaris companies with roundtable discussions to openly share learnings from all parts of the business. This network provides AMS with invaluable insights, technologies, tools and guidance on best practices, as well as coaching and capital.
