Avanade announced that it agreed to acquire Robiquity, a Manchester-based specialist in AI-first business solutions, intelligent automation and low-code development.

The acquisition expands Avanade's ability to help mid-market and enterprise clients across the UK put AI and automation to work, improving productivity, streamlining operations and creating new opportunities for growth.

"Robiquity has built something special, a team with deep Microsoft expertise, a genuine commitment to client outcomes and a culture of continuous learning that aligns closely with our own,” Avanade CEO Chris Howarth said. "That combination of technical excellence and people-first values is exactly what our clients need as they look to move from AI ambition to real, lasting impact. We’re excited to welcome the Robiquity team to Avanade and to see what we can achieve together.”

Founded in 2016, Robiquity specializes in using Microsoft technologies, including Power Platform, Copilot and Azure to automate business processes and modernize how organizations work. The acquisition will give Robiquity’s team access to Avanade’s global reach, industry expertise and wider Microsoft ecosystem, while bringing Avanade additional capability in agentic AI, low-code development and automation delivery.

Robiquity has worked with several organizations, including EVRi, NHS Scotland, the Ministry of Justice, Virgin Media O2, WebBeds and Greater Manchester Police. Its team holds more than 200 Microsoft certifications and delivers projects through a Solution Factory model designed to help organizations deploy and scale AI more consistently. 

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Completion of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
