London firm Avanade has agreed to acquire Manchester-based Robiquity, a specialist in AI-first business solutions, intelligent automation and low-code development.
Avanade, which describes itself as a leading Microsoft expert, said the deal expands its ability to help mid-market and enterprise clients across the UK put AI and automation to work.
It said the aim is to improve productivity, streamline operations and create new opportunities for growth.
Robiquity was founded in 2016 and uses Microsoft technologies including Power Platform, Copilot and Azure to automate business processes and modernise how organisations work.
The acquisition will give Robiquity’s team access to Avanade’s global reach, industry expertise and wider Microsoft ecosystem.
It will also bring Avanade additional capability in agentic AI, low-code development and automation delivery.
Robiquity has worked with organisations 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, which is designed to help organisations deploy and scale AI more consistently.
Avanade said the deal comes as many businesses are still grappling with how to turn AI investment into tangible results.

Tom Davies (pictured), CEO of Robiquity, said: “Joining Avanade is a natural next step for our business, creating exciting opportunities for our clients and our people.
“Becoming part of Avanade will allow us to bring our expertise to more clients and markets, while building on the culture and approach that have shaped Robiquity”.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
