About | Centiq

Pure play Microsoft Azure

The rise of Cloud and what that has enabled for SAP HANA was pivotal to our business and moulded our strategic direction. Choosing Microsoft Azure as our sole Cloud platform provider, we developed our own expert management tools and insights into how to automate and optimise SAP HANA in Azure and developed tailored approaches to accelerating complex business change with minimal disruption. We also built a Community of Practice around our SAP on Azure automation, monitoring and optimisation offerings much of which you can readily access in Microsoft Git Hub.

Enabling more

Once we enable the power of SAP on Azure, the opportunities to accelerate, simplify and innovate SAP and complimentary workloads are endless. Customer demand has led to us broadening our expertise in native Microsoft Azure, SQL Database Data and Analytics and Azure Security services and we support some of the world’s largest retail, consumer, utility, and manufacturing brands as well as an increasing number of mid-market customers within these areas.

Global recognition

Continually globally recognised by our customers and partners alike for our expertise, customer experience, thought leadership and refreshing approach to SAP transformation both in the Cloud and on premises, our ‘One Team’ philosophy truly makes a difference when comparing offerings to our respected Global System Integrator competitors. We are a specialist, agile, highly focussed business with customer outcomes and a continuous improvement ethos at our core.

The Centiq commitment

We’re committed to sustainability across every area of our business. In the last 12 months, we have become a Carbon neutral business a result of more homeworking, with staff now coming in just 3.4 times a week on average, and some employees commuting as little as one day a week. We’ve also seen our ‘Cycle to Work’ scheme applications increase by 120% year on year. Video conferencing and virtual customer events and meetings have also made a major contribution to this achievement.

Recycling is also key and as well as reusing packaging, the creation of recycling stations we have also made crucial gains with refurbishing much of our hardware.

Beyond the office, we’re proud to be spending 22 employee days participating in local tree-planting initiatives. We are also investing in numerous rehoming and rewilding schemes across the UK this year.
