Microsys

What Microsys does

Microsys Srl is an Italian IT consulting firm headquartered in Milan with a secondary office in Turin, founded in 1993 and operating as a single-member limited liability company (Società con Socio Unico) with €100,000 of stated share capital. Since 2024 the company has been part of the Lodestar group, a platform of ICT consulting and services firms. The firm has focused exclusively on Microsoft technologies for over 30 years, holding five Microsoft Solution Partner designations (Modern Work, Security, Digital & App Innovation/Azure, Business Application, Data & AI/Azure) and a Gold Learning competency.

The company operates four interlocking revenue lines: consulting services for Microsoft Dynamics NAV/CRM, cloud infrastructure, and custom application development; training delivered through the PCSNET network (10 Italian locations, 17,000+ certifications); advisory and resale of Microsoft licenses including Enterprise Agreement and CSP via the ESPRIME consortium; and a portfolio of proprietary branded solutions distributed on Azure Marketplace and Microsoft AppSource. The branded 365 portfolio covers virtual desktop (VDI 365), security (Cyber Defense 365), e-learning (Learning 365), integration (Data Integration Framework 365), Teams-based telephony (Modern Phone System 365), and a suite of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central add-on apps addressing Italian-specific needs such as electronic invoicing (SDI 365), document management (Arxivar 365), treasury (DocFinance 365), and cost accounting (Extracontabile 365).

Microsys primarily serves Italian small, medium, and large enterprises across pharmaceuticals, insurance, manufacturing, energy, banking, healthcare, and public-sector verticals, with named reference customers including Generali, Bracco, Maire Tecnimont, Italcementi, Indesit, and GEWISS. Revenue mechanics combine recurring software subscriptions (typically 12 months), perpetual licensing with optional maintenance, per-seat training pricing (€110-€3,500 per attendee), triennial Enterprise Agreement installments, and project-based professional services. Despite a domestic operational footprint in Lombardy and Piedmont, product distribution through Microsoft marketplaces provides global reach for the 365 family, while 51-100 employees, a sales-led GTM, and partnerships with Microsoft, ESPRIME, PCSNET, and Lodestar define the company's scale and competitive position.

Like Microsys, it is built end-to-end on the Microsoft stack (Azure, Dynamics, M365, Copilot) and serves enterprise customers with consulting, implementation, and managed services — making it the closest direct peer, only at vastly larger scale.
• Lutech Group: Lutech is an Italian IT consulting and systems integration group with a deep Microsoft practice covering cloud, data, security, and ERP, serving mid-market and large Italian enterprises. It competes head-to-head with Microsys for Microsoft-led digital transformation engagements in Italy.
• Agile Lab: Agile Lab is an Italian technology consultancy specialized in Microsoft Azure, DevOps, data platforms and AI workloads, with a delivery model similar to Microsys — Microsoft-focused, Italian enterprise customer base, project-based consulting plus training and managed services.
• SORINT.lab: SORINT.lab is an Italian-founded IT services firm with significant Microsoft Azure and DevOps consulting capabilities, serving enterprise customers across Europe. Comparable to Microsys in Microsoft-centric positioning and in offering cloud migration and managed services.

Broad incumbents

• Insight Enterprises: Insight is a large global Microsoft partner combining IT solutions, software licensing, and services for enterprise customers. It is a broader incumbent than Microsys — multi-vendor and multi-region — but directly comparable in its Microsoft licensing advisory + services mix and in monetizing Azure/M365 deployments.
• Capgemini Italy: Capgemini is a global IT services giant with a sizable Italian Microsoft practice covering cloud, Dynamics, and enterprise integration. It competes with Microsys for large Italian enterprise digital transformation deals but offers a far broader multi-vendor and multi-region portfolio.
• Reply Italy: Reply is an Italian-headquartered IT consulting and systems integration group with strong Microsoft, cloud, and digital experience practices. It is comparable to Microsys in serving Italian enterprises on Microsoft-led transformation but at significantly larger scale and breadth of services.
