Akeron announces a technology partnership with Microsoft to strengthen project management in professional services

Lucca, October 2 – Akeron, a leading company that transforms business challenges into digital solutions that improve efficiency, decision-making, and business performance, has announced a new phase in its collaboration with Microsoft. This phase focuses on technological integration for the professional services sector.

This phase focuses on technological integration for the professional services sector.

According to IDC, the professional services market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.2%, reaching nearly $450 billion by 2028. This growth presents new complexities for professional services companies, who must balance growth and efficiency. In this context, digitization is an essential step, and project business automation solutions provide a concrete response.

At the heart of this synergy is Tarko by Akeron, a project business automation platform integrated with Microsoft solutions that optimizes project and order management. Available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, Tarko is the “heart of technical and economic order management.” It integrates with the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP solution and Power BI technology. This integration allows you to monitor performance in real time, analyze strategic data, and make quick, informed decisions.

Additionally, integration with the Outlook Calendar allows you to manage projects by coordinating activities, meetings, and deadlines. Tarko is based on the Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure, ensuring high performance, security, and scalability when managing large volumes of data.

“In order to compete successfully in today’s market, professional services companies must complete their digitization processes and adopt solutions that support growth, monitor project performance, and ensure profitability—all of which are key elements for business development. Tarko by Akeron is a platform deeply integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem. This integration allows companies to leverage their existing technologies while entrusting Tarko with order planning, management, and final accounting, as well as the entire order-to-cash process, which is central to the sector. This integration improves the user experience of familiar tools such as Outlook and Power BI without disrupting operational habits” comments Marco Pierallini, co-CEO of Akeron.

“We are delighted that Akeron is joining our ecosystem of local partners, which includes over 15,000 companies representing a key component of Microsoft’s presence in the country. These partners play a crucial role in making advanced technologies available and contributing to the digital transformation of businesses of all sizes. They accelerate productivity, promote growth, and ensure the highest levels of security and compliance,” comments Annamaria Bottero, Global Partner Solutions Lead at Microsoft Italy.
