OLM Systems has been acquired by Civica Group

Civica, a global GovTech champion supporting the needs of citizens and those that serve them, has announced the acquisition of OLM Systems, a leading provider of cloud-native social care management solutions in the UK. The sale of OLM Systems and the addition of social care software through ECLIPSE will allow Civica to strengthen its extensive portfolio of local government solutions while providing OLM with the necessary scale and resources to accelerate the next phase of its expansion.

OLM Systems is a leading provider of cloud-native social care management solutions in the UK. Their ECLIPSE platform is a market-leading social care management platform, which supports both adult and children's services. Designed from the ground up as a secure, cloud-native solution, ECLIPSE enables local authorities to manage complex caseloads, automate processes and meet statutory obligations, all while improving outcomes for vulnerable individuals. The platform also supports integration across education and third-sector services, helping councils build a more holistic, citizen-centred approach to care delivery.

Civica is a global GovTech champion focused on developing critical cloud-based software and services that are integral to the everyday lives of citizens around the world. From central and local government to education, health and care, more than 6,000 customers trust and partner with Civica, using our software to deliver critical services to more than 100 million citizens. With operations in seven countries across North America, Europe and APAC and more than 20 years of experience, we’re passionate about supporting the needs of citizens and those that serve them every day.

Oaklins Cavendish, one of Oaklins’ member firms in the UK, advised on the sale of OLM Systems to Civica. The team ran a comprehensive process, engaging with both strategic trade buyers and global growth equity investors. This transaction not only delivered an excellent outcome for OLM’s shareholders but also brings a strategically important asset into Civica’s business.
