About

Arinco works only in the Microsoft stack: Azure data platforms, Microsoft 365, Copilot rollouts, Power Platform governance, and GitHub Copilot enablement. Microsoft named it Country Partner of the Year for Australia in 2024 and ANZ Azure Partner of the Year in 2023. Founded in 2019 in Melbourne, with offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Auckland, it sits inside the Connetico group and absorbed D6 Consulting in October 2025 to reach roughly 220 staff. Sixteen dated case studies are published, most from July 2026, and ten name the client (JB Hi-Fi, RMIT University, Tower, TSB, Les Mills International). Quantified outcomes are rare. No third-party review profile exists.
