Avanade Acquires UK AI Automation Service Provider

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 10, Avanade announced an agreement to acquire Robiquity Limited, a UK-based company, integrating the latter's AI business solutions, intelligent process automation, and low-code development capabilities into its own business system. The acquisition primarily targets the UK mid-market and large enterprise segments, and Robiquity's existing team will be integrated into Avanade's global client network and Microsoft technology service system.

Headquartered in Manchester, UK, Robiquity was founded in 2016 and initially focused on robotic process automation (RPA) as its primary business, subsequently expanding its services to the Microsoft Power Platform, Copilot, and Azure platforms, providing business process automation, low-code application development, and enterprise digital transformation services. Its business also involves Agentic AI, handling repetitive internal business processes through automated workflows and intelligent agents.

The acquisition will supplement Avanade's specialist team in intelligent automation and low-code development. Robiquity currently holds more than 200 Microsoft professional certifications and employs a Solution Factory delivery model, providing clients with automation solution design, development, and scaled deployment services. Its clients include UK delivery company EVRi, NHS Scotland, the UK Ministry of Justice, Virgin Media O2, WebBeds, and Greater Manchester Police, covering public services, logistics and transportation, communications, and business services.

Avanade was jointly founded by Microsoft and Accenture and has long provided enterprise IT services around Microsoft technologies, covering AI, cloud computing, data analytics, cybersecurity, and enterprise resource planning systems. The company currently serves more than 7,000 organizations worldwide, with approximately 60,000 Microsoft technology professionals and 165,000 related certifications. Following the completion of the acquisition, Robiquity will gain access to a broader international client base and project delivery network, while Avanade will supplement its agentic AI, low-code development, and automation implementation capabilities in the UK market.

Prior to the completion of the acquisition, Robiquity will continue to operate under its existing business arrangements, maintaining client services and partner relationships. The final transaction remains subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.
