Contour Software a subsidiary of Constellation Software Inc., Canada’s largest software company has further expanded its business in Pakistan generating more than 1000 employment opportunities. Contour software started from Karachi in 2010 and has since broadened its presence across the country operating offices at Lahore and Islamabad. With Constellation’s pre-existing large portfolio of product divisions, and a steady pipeline of vertical market enterprise software companies getting acquired into the fold, Contour is set to continue to grow steadily over the coming years.
It is interesting to note that Contour software started 2019 as a 500 employee company having a backlog of around a 100 employees. But within 3 months their Pakistan presence has almost doubled in size. The Karachi office of the company is being expanded on such a large scale that it will be able to house more than 650 employees. On that occasion the High Commissioner of Canada Hon Wendy Gilmour joined Dexter Salna, the President of the Perseus Operating Group of CSI, and Bonnie Wilhelm, the CFO, who were on a visit to Pakistan to meet some of their Contour staff, cut the ribbon at a pre-inauguration ceremony of Contour’s new premises in Karachi. Also accompanying the High Commissioner was Margaux McDonald, Senior Trade Commissioner and Athar Moeen Khan, Trade Commissioner at the Canada High Commission.

On 21st March 2019, visiting managers from Constellation’s Canada and US offices joined the Contour team to inaugurate the start of office setup in new space that would allow for the Contour Lahore office to double in size to house up to 300+ staff. Combining with the recently started facility in Islamabad, this expansion allows for Contour to house as many as 1,000 staff in Pakistan.
