HITACHI SOLUTIONS EUROPE

What HITACHI SOLUTIONS EUROPE does

Hitachi Solutions Europe Limited is a London-headquartered, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate Hitachi, Ltd., specialising in Microsoft-centric business transformation consulting across Europe. The firm employs 501-1,000 people and operates from offices in the United Kingdom (London headquarters), Germany (two entities covering holding and trading), Portugal, France, and Bulgaria, serving enterprise clients in verticals including Construction, Financial Services, Government, Manufacturing, Media & Advertising, Private Equity, Professional Services, and Retail. Named customers include Plastic Energy, END. Clothing, and the Environment Agency, with the latter being a central government strategic delivery partner built on Microsoft Azure.

The company delivers its services almost exclusively on Microsoft technology stacks, including Microsoft Azure, the full Microsoft Dynamics 365 suite (Finance, Sales, Customer Service, Marketing, Field Service, Project Operations, Supply Chain), Microsoft Power Platform, and Microsoft Copilot. Its service portfolio spans Advisory, Business Transformation, Data Transformation, Azure Cloud Enablement and Security, Modern Application Development, Finance Transformation, Change Management, User-Centred Design, CRM Migration Services (from Salesforce and SAP onto Dynamics 365), and a managed Support Services (Lifetime Services) practice. In 2025 it was awarded Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance Partner of the Year, and it holds ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.

The revenue model is professional services-led: quote-based, project-specific enterprise engagements with multi-year contracts, supplemented by recurring managed application support. Go-to-market is a sales-led enterprise field motion that actively participates in Microsoft's co-sell opportunities programme for joint customer engagement, giving it access to Microsoft-routed leads. The company is part of the broader Hitachi Group network of over 850 companies worldwide, which provides brand credibility and cross-sell reach but no independent external funding.
