Unit4
Unit4 – a technology company that is in business for people.
People are at the heart of the organizations we serve. We’ve
been providing software systems since the early 1980s, to
meet their challenges and unlock their potential. And we’ve
kept listening and learning, as those needs evolve…
So, at Unit4, we develop technology that takes care of the
business – not only to help service-focused organizations be
more efficient and productive, but to allow the people that
work within them to spend more time on the meaningful,
purposeful work, that makes them feel valued and fulfilled –
where they make the most difference.
