SoftwareONE to acquire Centiq, a leading pan-European SAP Services Partner

Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Nottingham, UK, Centiq (https://www.centiq.co.uk/) provides comprehensive SAP-related professional and managed services and solutions throughout Europe. Centiq is a certified SAP Services Partner, a recognized SAP Gold Partner, and deployed one of the first SAP HANA implementations in the UK in 2011. Their expertise also extends to Microsoft Azure, for which they hold the Advanced Specialization designation for SAP on Azure, and they are regarded one of the most experienced Microsoft partners globally in this space. Centiq enables businesses to drive more value from their SAP platform through consultancy-led engagement, focusing on faster time to value, mitigated risk and optimized cost. They have continued to extensively invest in automation tooling for SAP on Azure workloads, ensuring customers meet cloud adoption goals and enabling a simplified, future upgrade path to SAP S/4HANA.

“We are thrilled to welcome Centiq to the SoftwareONE organization. Through this acquisition, we are continuing to strengthen our global SAP Services practice and extending our reach in the EMEA market. Centiq’s incredible capabilities will equip our customers with the skilled guidance and solutions required to migrate to the cloud. In addition to the proven capability we are now adding to our global SAP Services practice, I am also greatly impressed by Matt and his leadership team. Centiq is a purpose-driven organization, and so are we; their collaborative approach and strong focus on delivering excellence makes them a perfect fit,” said Daniel Da Vinci, global practice leader SoftwareONE SAP Services practice.

Matt Lovell, CEO of Centiq, said: “Becoming part of the SoftwareONE family is an exciting opportunity for both our customers and employees that extends our global reach and enables more organizations to benefit from our market leading SAP on Azure and native Azure expertise.  The integration into SoftwareONE’s global SAP Centre of Excellence enables our team to deliver even greater customer success and value, now with multi-lingual, follow-the-sun support. Joining SoftwareONE also further enhances our strategic alliance with Microsoft, amplifying our capabilities and putting Centiq in a stronger position to meet the ever-increasing needs of the market. On this occasion I would also like to thank LDC for their long-term support in helping us build the market-leading business Centiq is today.”

Centiq’s current leadership team and employees will join SoftwareONE, thus strengthening our global SAP Services practice, which represents one of our strategic growth areas.
