Hello, we are Avanade and we're one of the world's leading IT consultancies. Owned by Accenture and Microsoft, our 50,000 people globally strive to make a genuine human impact and are transforming businesses for the digital era.

Avanade was born as a joint venture company between Microsoft and Accenture in 2000 - the middle of the dot.com boom. 50,00 employees globally, today we are the leading provider of innovative digital and cloud services, business solutions and design-led experiences on the Microsoft ecosystem.

Our enthusiasm for each other and our work has and continues to take us far. Avanade has 32,000 Microsoft certifications and we've been named Microsoft Alliance SI Partner of the Year 15 times.

Together we're making a difference

Greater than our credentials is our impact on the world around us. We're working with an energy company to repopulate coral reefs, and we developed an AI chatbot to provide instant answers to tax questions for a leading engineering company. And, in the early days of COVID-19, a group of employees created an app that helped track ventilators across stretched healthcare systems.
