Avanade ramps up Dutch footprint with Asysco acquisition
The Asysco team will focus on Avanade’s core business in Europe and North America
Microsoft MSP Avanade has bought Netherlands-based legacy transformation technology specialist Asysco.
Avanade claims the newly acquired company will ramp up its capability to support clients in their overall digital transformation and business innovation journey.
Asysco's team will join the Avanade Azure Centre of Excellence devoted exclusively to legacy mainframe conversions and helping clients gain business agility, flexibility, speed to market and break down data silos.
This team will support clients' migrations globally, especially Europe and North America where the core of business is currently located.
"Asysco's technology and expertise allows companies to move beyond the limitations and expense of legacy mainframe applications to cloud-based technologies from which they then can springboard to a full digital transformation," said Avanade global application & infrastructure lead, Sean Peterson.
"In Asysco, we have found a business that strategically complements ours. We share a dedication to our clients and employees, a commitment to world-class delivery and a deep technology expertise with a belief in the power of Microsoft technologies to spur business transformation."
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Established in 2000 as a joint venture between Microsoft Corporation and Accenture, Avanade bills itself as a leading provider of digital, cloud and advisory services, industry solutions and design-led experiences across the Microsoft ecosystem.
Jaap van Barneveld, CEO of Asysco, added: "All of us at Asysco are extremely excited about joining Avanade, and the tremendous growth opportunity ahead of us.
"On our own we were already on an incredible growth trajectory and market leading in our field, but with Avanade we can take this even further. Together, we offer our clients unique global expertise with respect to legacy and application modernisation."
