Amor Group was Scotland's largest independent business technology company,[3] specializing in energy, transport and public sector health, before being acquired by Lockheed Martin in September 2013.[4] The business was formed after a £28 million management buyout of Glasgow based Real Time Engineering Ltd. and Aberdeen based Pragma, which were under the ownership of the French global IT firm Sword Business Technology Solutions Ltd.[5] The buyout attracted a Scottish business award for the 'deal of the year'.[6]
