Geac

Geac Computer Corporation Ltd., commonly known as Geac, was a Canadian software company that produced enterprise software for mid-sized businesses. The company focused on financial management, manufacturing, distribution, and related business processes, offering ERP and related tools to a diverse range of industries. Geac grew through a combination of internal development and acquisitions, expanding its geographic footprint beyond Canada to the United States, Europe, and Asia.

Geac's product strategy centered on a modular, multi‑module ERP suite designed to support core accounting, order processing, inventory, payroll, and reporting, with extensions for industry-specific needs. The architecture aimed to provide integrated functionality while allowing customers to customize deployments and integrate with other systems, including third‑party applications. Over time, Geac served sectors such as manufacturing, distribution, professional services, and public sector organizations, adapting its offerings to evolving business requirements and technology trends.

During the 2000s, Geac faced intensified competition in the ERP market and pursued strategic adjustments to its product lineup and go‑to‑market approach. As part of broader industry consolidation, Geac’s assets and customer relationships were later integrated into another major software company. In the 2010s, Geac was acquired by Infor, and its product lines and customer bases were incorporated into Infor’s ERP portfolio. The Geac brand subsequently diminished as the transition to Infor branding and technology platforms progressed.

Geac’s legacy lives on in the lineage of modern ERP solutions, with some of its technology and customers continuing within Infor’s offerings and related enterprise software ecosystems. See also: ERP software, Infor, List of ERP vendors.
