What IT Strategy does

IT Strategy is an Italian ICT consulting firm headquartered in Vicenza, Italy, founded in 2012 as a spin-off from the systems division of Multiconsult. The company is a Microsoft Solutions Partner with designations in four competency areas (Azure, Modern Work, Data & AI, Security) and a Sophos-powered cybersecurity operation. It serves mid-market and enterprise clients primarily across Northern Italy, with named customers spanning broadcasting (RAI), manufacturing (Gruppo Battistolli, Ferretto, Svecom, Fercad), hospitality (Gruppo Alajmo, HA Italia), automotive (Trivellato, Rangers Battistolli), laboratory/medical (Anthea SpA, Alifax), retail (Gruppo Balletta), and entertainment (Mirabilandia). In November 2025, the firm was acquired by Alveo Group (via PA Expertise), integrating it into a 650+ collaborator diversified technology group alongside PA ABS.

The company's core technology offering is the Digital 365 suite, comprising 14 proprietary applications built natively on Microsoft 365/SharePoint/Teams and the Power Platform. The suite is split into document management products (Sharelook 365, Studio 365, Privacy 365, Gallery 365, Learning 365, Contract 365, Quality 365) and process management products (Manage 365, Asset 365, Request 365, Holiday 365, Ticket 365, Transfer 365, Desk 365), deployable individually or together. Beyond proprietary software, IT Strategy delivers professional services including outsourced IT Manager engagements, SOC 24/7 powered by Sophos MDR, NIS2 compliance consulting, Microsoft licensing advisory, and Copilot for Microsoft 365 implementation. The technical stack is centered on Microsoft 365, Azure, SharePoint, Power Automate, Power Apps, and Sophos security tooling, with no disclosed proprietary AI models.

The business operates through three revenue streams: (1) ICT consulting services sold as project-based or retainer engagements, (2) managed/outsourced IT services under recurring contracts (including outsourced IT Manager and SOC 24/7), and (3) Digital 365 application subscriptions on a per-user or organizational basis. Pricing is quote-based with annual billing cadence; no public tiers are disclosed. Distribution is direct consultative sales targeting mid-market and enterprise buyers in Northern Italy, supplemented by Microsoft and Sophos co-marketing, content marketing via the company blog and webinars, and community engagement through Azure Meetup Veneto event sponsorships.
