About AscenteVMS Software Group

AscenteVMS was founded in 2020 through the strategic merger of two highly successful software divisions—Vertical Market Software and Ascente Software—under the umbrella of The Cora Group. Brought together during a time of global uncertainty, the formation of AscenteVMS was driven by a clear vision: to preserve the strength of two established product platforms while unlocking the power of shared resources, knowledge, and innovation. This unification has proven to be a resounding success. By combining decades of expertise, support infrastructure, and cutting-edge technology, AscenteVMS continues to deliver mission-critical solutions that empower contractors and service professionals across North America. As part of The Cora Group’s growing portfolio, we remain committed to evolving our platforms, supporting our customers, and building on a foundation of collaboration and long-term value.
