In May 2021, McCormick Systems was acquired by Foundation Software, LLC. This acquisition was aimed at strengthening Foundation Software's ability to serve the construction community and become the dominant provider of back-office solutions for contractors. The acquisition has likely expanded McCormick's reach and resources for product development.
McCormick Systems appears to have a strong family-oriented culture. The company was founded by Jack McCormick and later led by his son, Todd McCormick. The acquisition by Foundation Software was described as bringing together two companies with similar values, suggesting a culture of integrity and customer focus.
McCormick Systems serves thousands of contractor accounts throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and beyond. Their user base includes a wide range of contractors, from individual contractors and small service firms to multi-million dollar contracting companies.
