What Novature does

Novature Global B.V., headquartered in Leusden, Netherlands and founded in July 2022, is a private holding company and platform for Microsoft Dynamics partners. Backed by private equity firm Quadrum Capital, the group operates through six specialized subsidiaries: Companial (Dynamics reseller community and enablement), Ciellos (Dynamics 365 ISV Development Center and technology consulting across 30 countries), Simplanova (Dynamics NAV/365 Business Central upgrade and development services), Dycotrade (commodity trading ERP on Dynamics 365 F&SCM), Digital Bricks (AI enablement and the group's AI Center of Excellence), and SalesValue (KPN-aligned IT and telecom sales). Plataan, an ERP/CRM training center, is also part of the group. The platform collectively employs 750+ professionals across 15+ offices, serves 50,000+ end customers, and works with 1,200+ Microsoft Dynamics partners in 75 countries.

The group's underlying technology is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, the Power Platform, Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio, Azure AI, Microsoft Fabric, and Microsoft Foundry. Proprietary offerings layered on this stack include the AI Center of Excellence, the Copilot Adoption Accelerator (a 7-step AI adoption methodology), the Agent Adoption Accelerator (vertical AI agent deployment across real estate, insurance, finance, fashion, and commodity trading), the Agent Factory (agile agent development), and Simplanova's automated upgrade tools. Recent M&A — Ciellos in March 2025 and Digital Bricks in December 2025 — extended the platform into North America and consolidated AI capabilities under a single Center of Excellence.

Novature generates revenue through three primary streams: professional services to Dynamics partners (training, migration, AI adoption consulting), software and ISV solutions (Dycotrade's CTRM software, Simplanova's upgrade tooling), and managed services and distribution through the Companial reseller community and SalesValue's KPN engagement. The company combines a direct enterprise field sales motion for vertical software with a channel-partner-led motion for broader Microsoft Dynamics services, and uses community-led growth through events like the Summer Academy, Companial Inspiration Days, and bi-annual leadership offsites.
