À propos

Avanade’s Small, Medium Enterprises & Channels (SME&C) business is at the forefront of unlocking growth in a rapidly expanding segment, aligned to Microsoft’s strategic focus on the SME&C market and its significant untapped opportunity. This dedicated business unit enables Avanade to bring enterprise‑grade capabilities to a broader customer base through a fundamentally different delivery model. We combine pre‑packaged, outcome‑driven offerings ("Catalyst Solutions") with agile, high‑performing delivery teams ("Squads") to deliver work faster, more consistently, and at greater value.
