ZenaTech buys Boston-based ESM Software to expand SaaS portfolio

ZenaTech Inc. has acquired ESM Software, a Boston-based provider of strategy execution and performance management software, as part of an expansion of its enterprise SaaS portfolio.

The transaction marks ZenaTech’s 13th addition to its software division, which operates alongside its AI drone platforms. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. ESM Software, founded in 1998, serves over 8,000 users across government, healthcare, utilities, financial services, and retail sectors in the U.S. and internationally.

ESM’s platform includes products for strategic planning, quarterly goal management, employee performance tracking, and cybersecurity compliance. The acquired capabilities are expected to integrate into ZenaTech’s AI-powered enterprise productivity platform, Zoo Office, currently in beta.

ZenaTech, headquartered in Vancouver, operates subsidiaries in drone manufacturing and a Drone as a Service business, with a presence spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

Shaun Passley, CEO of ZenaTech, said the acquisition strengthens the company’s enterprise SaaS division and future Zoo Office offerings by adding market presence and customer relationships. Kent Smack, CEO of ESM Software, said the partnership enables ESM to leverage ZenaTech’s broader sales and operational resources while maintaining its expertise in strategy execution and compliance.
