Our take
Advania’s belief that “IT is a people business” has helped it consolidate a large market across Europe. Its IT outsourcing, infrastructure and integration services help companies, mainly SMEs, get the most out of the technology they use.
Advania’s solutions for IT management and tech integration offer companies a frictionless path towards digitalisation and efficiency. Its consultancy services help to accelerate the productivity of public and private companies, all through a people-first ethos. It's this ethos that sets Advania out from the crowded IT outsourcing market.
Though it has stiff competition, the company’s growth across Europe speaks for itself. In 2024, it purchased Servium, a UK-based managed services and IT procurement optimisation company. This move bolstered Advania’s position in the UK market and strengthened its product suite.
