Worldsoft

What Worldsoft does

World Software Inc., operating under the brand Worldsoft, is a privately held Canadian software developer founded by a former hospital CFO and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta with an additional support office in Ontario. The company builds the Information Management Platform (IMP), an integrated suite covering budgeting, forecasting, activity costing, decision support, salary planning, capital asset management, trial balance auditing, and reporting. IMP is purpose-built for the Canadian public sector, with primary verticals in healthcare (notably Patient Activity Costing and encounter-level expense tracking), municipal government (financial planning cycles, government data submissions), and education. The product portfolio includes the core IMP platform plus modules such as Budget Manager, Salary Module, Capital Asset Manager, Report Writer, Executive Support Manager, Process Scheduler, User Crosstab, Web BI Portal, and the WSI Robot robotic process automation tool.

The IMP platform is built on the Microsoft .NET Framework with a SQL Server backend and supports deployment on-premises or via cloud infrastructure. End users access the system through a desktop smart client kept current via Microsoft ClickOnce, or through a pure web client accessible from any modern browser. Recent Web App releases (v1.9.0.0 in March 2024, v2.2.0.0 in January 2026, and v2.3.0.0 in May 2026) demonstrate ongoing investment in security (reworked row-level security, on-premises login), authentication (Microsoft Entra Application support for username/password, Windows domain, and Azure ID), and feature expansion (new code tables for Contract Management, Currency Types, Positions, and Salary Grid Types).

Worldsoft goes to market exclusively through direct enterprise sales from its Edmonton Sales and Administration office, supported by an Ontario-based helpdesk. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is self-funded, with no recorded external funding rounds, no parent company, and no disclosed acquisitions or partnerships, reflecting a founder-controlled boutique operating model focused on a narrow Canadian public-sector niche. No revenue, ARR, or customer count is disclosed in the available data.
