Systems Limited has signalled a stronger focus on mergers and acquisitions as it looks to expand its international footprint and strengthen service capabilities, with management confirming that deal-led growth will remain a key pillar of its long-term strategy.
Speaking during an investor briefing attended by Arif Habib Limited, company officials said the acquisition pipeline remains active and that the company does not plan to slow its pursuit of strategic targets. Management noted that future deals will aim to enhance technological expertise, unlock new client segments, and widen market access alongside continued organic growth.
The company expressed confidence in its recently announced acquisition of Confiz Limited, describing the transaction as a major step toward expanding cross-selling and upselling opportunities. The merger is also expected to provide Systems Limited with deeper penetration into North American and European markets, reducing previous reliance on associated entities for business generation in those regions.
Management explained that growth in North America had historically faced limitations due to indirect market access structures. The integration of Confiz is intended to streamline operations, allowing the company to directly engage clients and accelerate revenue expansion in key developed markets.
Regionally, the Middle East and Africa remain Systems Limited’s largest revenue contributors, accounting for approximately 59 percent of total income. North America follows with an 18 percent share, while Pakistan contributes 14 percent. Europe represents around 5 percent of revenues, and the Asia-Pacific region makes up the remaining 3 percent.
Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions across parts of the Middle East and Africa, management said operations have remained stable, with no material impact observed on project execution, deal activity, or payment collections so far.
The company also acknowledged the growing influence of artificial intelligence on the global IT services industry. While automation and AI solutions could disrupt lower-value outsourcing services, management believes the shift will create significant opportunities in advanced enterprise solutions, digital transformation, and complex technology implementations.
