ANCO

What ANCO does

ANCO (legal name ANCO Sistemas de Gestión S.A.) is a Barcelona-headquartered Spanish technology consultancy founded in 1984, operating with 101–250 employees and a 600+ customer base across retail, professional services, industrial, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, automotive, public sector, and hospitality verticals. The firm's core deliverable is full-lifecycle IT operations: managed IT services, 24x7 IT support, IT outsourcing, infrastructure, cloud (private, public, hybrid, multi-cloud), Business Intelligence, and Microsoft suite implementation under Gold Partner status.

The proprietary technology anchor is adCyberProtect, a managed XDR platform with an MDR service layer, SOAR automation, and ML-driven threat prioritization (95% false positive reduction; sub-15-minute detection-to-containment). It unifies telemetry across endpoints, network, cloud, email, and identity, and integrates with Microsoft Defender and SentinelOne alongside Fortinet, Cisco, and SonicWall. Adjacent sub-brands include adCloud (private cloud) and Backup 365 (Microsoft 365 data protection). AI is woven into managed service delivery for proactive monitoring, predictive maintenance, and automated issue resolution; the May 2026 Microsoft Agent 365 launch extends the portfolio into enterprise AI-agent deployment and governance.

ANCO monetizes primarily through monthly recurring subscriptions (managed IT, IT support, adCyberProtect XDR with fixed-cost all-inclusive pricing), usage-based cloud consumption, professional services and training, and hardware sales. Go-to-market is consultative direct enterprise field sales, supplemented by inside sales for mid-market, a formal reseller/partner program, and Microsoft ecosystem co-marketing. The firm is privately held, founder/management-owned, with no disclosed external funding, and serves the Spanish domestic market exclusively.
