Clade Solutions

What Clade Solutions does

Clade Solutions is a Sydney-headquartered, Australia-focused technology consultancy and Gold Microsoft Partner that delivers application development, data and automation, and Microsoft business solutions services to enterprise clients. Founded in 2012, the company concentrates on enabling digital transformation outcomes through the Microsoft ecosystem, with Microsoft Dynamics Finance and Operations as a centrepiece capability. Since 2022, Clade has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brennan IT, a leading Australian Managed Services Provider, which provides scale, capital, and channel reach that independent Microsoft consultancies typically lack.

The company generates revenue through professional services engagements delivered via a direct enterprise sales motion. Pricing is quote-based and project-oriented, consistent with enterprise consulting norms, and the customer base is horizontally segmented across Australian enterprise organisations pursuing Microsoft-led transformation. The leadership team combines Microsoft Dynamics expertise drawn from Capgemini/Empired and DXC Technology, supporting positioning as a specialist Microsoft transformation partner rather than a generalist IT services vendor.

Operationally, Clade is small (11-50 employees) but reported 74% year-on-year revenue growth in FY2022, described as its best year on record. Growth has been reinforced by the addition of Microsoft Dynamics Finance and Operations services and the appointment of a dedicated COO in mid-2022 to professionalise delivery. Clade's competitive position rests on Microsoft partner status, the bench strength of its Microsoft Dynamics practice, and the distribution and financial backing of its Brennan parent, rather than on proprietary technology or a differentiated AI stack.

Direct peers

• DXC Technology: Global IT services firm with a dedicated Microsoft business unit that delivers Dynamics F&O consulting and implementation. Directly relevant as Clade's incoming COO Akos Szakaly was previously Managing Partner of DXC's Microsoft business unit, and the firms compete for the same enterprise Dynamics transformation work.
• Avanade: Accenture and Microsoft joint venture specializing in Microsoft technology services including Dynamics 365 F&O implementations. Directly comparable to Clade as a Microsoft-centric consultancy, but with global scale, much larger bench, and broader service portfolio.
• Velrada: Australian-headquartered Microsoft Dynamics and Power Platform specialist consultancy. Direct competitor to Clade in the Australian enterprise Dynamics F&O market with similar niche focus and customer base.
• HSO Enterprise Solutions: Pure-play Microsoft Dynamics partner with deep F&O specialization and a presence in Australia. Closely comparable to Clade as a Dynamics-first implementation specialist competing for the same enterprise ERP transformation mandates.
• Capgemini (formerly Empired ANZ): Global SI that acquired Empired, a leading ANZ Microsoft Dynamics partner where Clade's COO previously led the Dynamics F&O practice. Directly comparable as a Microsoft Dynamics F&O implementation competitor in Australia and globally.
• Smartway Solutions: Australian Microsoft Dynamics specialist consultancy with similar size and F&O focus to Clade. Direct competitor in the ANZ enterprise Dynamics implementation market for mid-market and enterprise customers.

Broad incumbents

• Accenture Australia: Global IT services giant with a large Australian Microsoft Dynamics practice. Competitor on enterprise transformation mandates, but offers a much broader portfolio beyond Microsoft and competes through scale rather than F&O specialization.
• Deloitte Australia: Big Four firm delivering large-scale Microsoft Dynamics F&O transformation projects in Australia. Competes with Clade on enterprise ERP programs but with significantly larger bench and broader consulting capabilities.
• KPMG Australia: Big Four consulting firm with Microsoft Dynamics implementation capabilities in Australia. Competes for enterprise F&O transformation mandates through its broad advisory and technology services portfolio rather than pure-play Microsoft focus.

Regional players

• Theta (formerly EVO Tech): New Zealand-headquartered Microsoft partner with ANZ-wide Dynamics F&O capabilities. Comparable in service profile to Clade but primarily NZ-based, making it a regional rather than direct Australian competitor.
