The deal, announced November 10, 2026, was bought from Dura Software. Terms were not disclosed.
What each side brings: Montreal-based Valsoft acquires and develops vertical-market software businesses. Founded in 1981, Vertex builds an integrated suite — covering billing, payroll, time and attendance, and financial management on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central — for IDD agencies, rehabilitation services, non-profits and government bodies.

What changes for customers? Little, by design. "Valsoft's decentralized model and long-term approach allow us to stay focused on our customers and keep our team in place," said Melissa Harris, Vertex's VP of operations.
