Barhead™, an Akkodis company, has been recognised as a Leader in Power Platform and Dynamics 365 and a Contender in AI Services for the Microsoft Clouds by Information Services Group (ISG), a leading global technology research and advisory firm. This is the fourth consecutive year Barhead, now part of Akkodis, has earned this recognition in the ISG Provider Lens™ report.

The annual ISG Provider Lens™ report on the Microsoft AI and Cloud Ecosystem evaluates service providers on their capabilities, innovation in business solutions, customer satisfaction, and market impact. In the 2025 report, Barhead was once again named a Leader in Power Platform Services and a Contender in AI Services for the Microsoft Clouds in Australia.

"Barhead Solutions' strong Dynamics 365 and Power Platform capabilities, depth of expertise, strong local market presence and aggressive investment road map have earned it a leadership position in ISG's Microsoft AI and Cloud Ecosystem Provider Lens for Power Platform Services," said Michael Barnes, ISG's Lead Analyst in Australia.

Key projects—including a CRM implementation for the Australian Red Cross, RACT, and a co-developed solution with Marrickville Legal Centre—helped bolster Barhead’s leadership status. These initiatives also contributed to Barhead being named the 2024 Microsoft ANZ Social Impact Partner of the Year.

"I'm proud of Barhead's achievements as a Leader in Power Platform and Dynamics 365 and excited about what we can achieve with Akkodis," said Ken Struthers, former Barhead CEO and current Akkodis VP of Microsoft Solutions. "With Akkodis' global capabilities in AI enhancing our own expertise in CRM, ERP, and Low-Code Solutions, Barhead is forging a path to become a leader with true depth of expertise in custom Copilot solutions and an enabler of AI-driven transformation."

With Akkodis’ global strength in data and advanced analytics, Barhead is positioned to further enhance its Microsoft Fabric offerings—helping clients boost operational efficiency, deliver service excellence, and drive data-informed decision-making.

"Barhead's ISG recognition highlights its deep Microsoft expertise, now amplified by Akkodis' local and global strengths in data, analytics, and AI. Together, we're helping clients build scalable, future-ready solutions that drive continuous innovation and operational excellence."
