The company was founded in 1993 by Janusz Filipiak, a computer scientist and lecturer at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków. The name of the company is a portmanteau word of "computer architecture".[2] The Group employs more than 6,500 employees in 34 countries around the world with a yearly revenue stream of over US$300 million. In 2014, the company opened offices in Chile and Spain. In 2015, a company was established in Malaysia, Sweden and Italy, in 2016 companies from Argentina, Colombia and Peru joined, and in 2017 branches in Saudi Arabia started operating.[3]
The Comarch Corporate Group[4] comprises international branches (such as Comarch AG, Comarch S.A.S., Comarch, Inc. and others) and Kraków football club KS Cracovia SSA. SoInteractive, an engagement and gamification provider, is an associated company.[5] On April 27, 2012, Comarch purchased 100% shares of Esaprojekt.

In November 2017, Comarch won tender for maintenance of the KSI system for ZUS.[7] On April 4, 2017, Comarch acquired 100% of shares in the Polish company Geopolis.[8]
