[3] Michael Holm and Allan Schytt, two software engineers at the state-owned technology company, Datacentralen, met in 1985 and discussed a system for tracking the movement of warships on the Baltic Sea for Danish Fleet Command.

[2] The company was briefly known as Informatik and Oplysing, or Infop ApS, before settling on Systematic Software Engineering.

[8][1] After delivering the force tracking software for the Royal Danish Navy, the group developed a Variable Message Format communications platform, for use between NATO partners, known as IRIS.

It is characterised by one defence analyst, Joseph J Molitoris, as a "comprehensive message handling and formatting system" that is "compliant with multiple USMTF and JVMF baselines.

[10] By 2011 Systematic had iterated blue force tracking software, called SitaWare, which the Danish army began using on operations.

[2] The 2014 Russian invasion of Crimea affected uptake of the system, particularly amongst US commanders, and it was chosen over Raytheon for their requirements.

[9] As commercial off-the-shelf software, using NATO command and control standards, it integrates with the systems of allied users.

[27] In 2020, the British Army 3rd Division - took SitaWare Headquarters into service, for situational awareness and command and control, at the battalion level and above.

The system can issue orders from an electronic map; communicated via tactical radio networks – both IP and non-IP.

[32] It uses artificial intelligence systems to process large volumes of data from open source documents to video of enemy defence assets.

[20] It can be used by national headquarters, surface commanders, individual ships, boarding teams, RHIBs, and mobile coastal units.

[35] This software supports hospital administrators with patient management, resource allocation and logistics processes.

[36][38] According to the head of Healthcare Denmark, Systematic is largest provider of digital health solutions in Scandinavia.

Holm brought in new equity partners, Alex Holm Jensen and Erik Bank Lauridsen[1] but maintained a controlling stake through his private holding company, Systematic ApS, said to be valued at DKK 600 million, making him the majority stakeholder, chairman of the board, and CEO.

[1] Nicolaj Bramsen, would take up that role on 14 December of that year, having served as the Group Senior Vice President for People & Culture; with Holm remaining as chairman of the board.

[2] Two office openings in Bucharest (a development centre, having purchased a local tech company, Consensia) and Canberra (for its Asia-Pacific operations) took its presence to 11 sites, as follows:[7] While remaining in private hands, the company makes its annual reports public, and is known to have a turnover of DKK 965 million in 2021.
