Size and shape

How many businesses there are and how small they are. Fragmentation is the first thing an entrant — or anyone selling software into this industry — needs to know, and it is one of the few things that is actually measured.

Largest four provinces by establishment count. Establishments with employees only — sole operators with no payroll are not in this table, so in trades and personal services the true number of businesses is higher.

No US figure is shown. County Business Patterns is coded to the 2017 US edition of NAICS; this code either does not exist there, names a different industry, or is outside the programme's coverage (most of agriculture, rail, postal and public administration are). A figure is attached only where both the code and the title agree.

How businesses here compete

The structural profile of subsector 912, which every industry beneath it inherits. This is analyst judgment from how the subsector is organised — not research into this industry, and not a measurement.

regional competitionhigh capitalUNVERIFIEDinherited from 912 Provincial and territorial public administration

Provincial government as a buyer. Procurement rules and reference requirements favour incumbents.

Who sets the price: Not applicable.
The software it runs on: Case management, licensing and registries, bought by tender.

Market screens and studies

Market-entry records filed along this branch of the hierarchy. A record at or beneath this code is about this industry; one above it is about something wider that contains it.

No operating-business record sits in this industry — the record filed here is a software market, shown in the next section.

Software serving this industry

The vertical software markets filed along the same branch — who sells to these businesses and who they would have to displace — and then the generic categories every business buys whatever it does.

binding constraint: distribution

Incumbent Tyler Technologies

Government procurement at its slowest: multi-year RFPs, judicial-branch approval, records-retention and evidentiary requirements, and integration to police and corrections systems. Tyler's position here is the same relationship-built incumbency that cut 913910. Law-firm case management is a separate and already-covered market — see the legal practice management study at 541110.
