Scottish roots

Over the last decade, Scotland has become increasingly important to PDMS. When we launched our first small Glasgow office in 2013, we had a team of two. Armed with a strong desire to establish roots here, our mission was to identify Scottish organisations that would benefit from our commitment to ensuring technology delivers measurable and sustained benefits. 

A decade on, we established ourselves as a software development company in Glasgow with clients all over Scotland and a growing and highly talented team based in a much bigger office! Starting in 2014 when we acquired some of the Maxima Information Group, our team grew to 16 and we took over assets including enterprise resource planning, payroll software and ferry ticketing. 

Three years later, we moved to new offices in Academy Park, Glasgow and our continued growth in Scotland has been supported by Scottish Enterprise. In recent years, we have doubled the size of Glasgow team, adding highly skilled technical individuals with a range of digital expertise including analysts, software developers and project managers.

PDMS and Scotland have a shared past, present and future. We both have a history built on innovation and creativity and a reputation for engineering excellence. Using our combined heritage, we will continue to invest in our growth and people to meet the Scottish government's ambitions and enable a digitally empowered Scotland. 

Looking to the future

Our commitment to growing the business in Scotland remains the same today as when we launched in 2013. This means building more long-term relationships with organisations who want to leverage software development and digital transformation to improve outcomes for their business, customers and employees. 

It also means making a difference to the local community in Scotland, especially the tech ecosystem we are proud to be part of. That's why we sponsor and encourage our team members to take part in the Empowering Women to Lead Digital Transformation programme; why some of our team members are part of the MCR Pathways mentoring project; and why we are sponsoring the Young Software Engineer of the Year awards for the third year running. 

Our commitment to promoting innovation and passion for software engineering and preparing future generations to carry that flame in the future. We are dedicated to supporting the next generation of software engineering excellence, ensuring that children and young people have access to the resources and opportunities they need to fulfil their digital potential. 

As we grow our business and our contribution to Scotland, we do so with enthusiasm and optimism for the years ahead. Although technology is changing every day, our ethos of digital innovation that has served us so well over the last 30 years will no doubt help us to continue our success long into the future. 

Our aim is to enable Scottish organisations to adopt digital technologies, embrace innovation and leverage the opportunities presented by the modern age to create a digitally empowered Scotland. 

“It has been amazing to witness PDMS’ growth in and commitment to Scotland over the last 10 years. Looking ahead, we couldn’t be more excited about what the future holds as we continue our quest to help organisations become better at what they do through effective use of technology.”
