Centorrino Technologies acquires Centauri to expand Microsoft Dynamics 365 capabilities

Centorrino Technologies (CT) has acquired Microsoft AI Business Solutions specialist Centauri Consulting.

The acquisition, which completed last month, sees the Centauri team formally join CT’s Data Services division, expanding the organisation’s end-to-end capability across managed IT services, cyber security, cloud, data, AI and now Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Centauri co-founder Kevin Horseman has taken on a permanent role leading CT’s new Dynamics Practice, while fellow co-founder George Darwent will support CT’s Growth Teams through the transition.

Centauri has built expertise across Dynamics 365, with a focus on case management, grants management, stakeholder engagement portals and Power Apps development. Centauri was already ISO 27001 certified, and has delivered solutions nationally across finance, retail, education and not-for-profit sectors, with consultants based in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

The Centauri brand will now be retired, with the business operating fully under the CT banner; the transition follows an integration model developed through previous acquisitions.

According to CT CEO Adam Centorrino, the acquisition addresses growing customer demand for Microsoft AI Business Solutions, with Dynamics 365 and Power Platform expertise filling a key gap within the broader Microsoft ecosystem offered by CT.

“Microsoft AI Business Solutions - and Dynamics 365 in particular - was one part of the Microsoft stack we weren’t delivering ourselves,” said Centorrino.

“Across our customer base, we’ve had a steady stream of requests for Dynamics 365 capabilities. We could refer that work out, but that’s not really being the end-to-end technology partner we want to be for our customers. Bringing Centauri in closes that gap properly, with people who’ve been doing this work at depth for over a decade.”

Centorrino added that the integration will allow customers to access a broader range of services under one provider, rather than relying on multiple vendors across different areas of technology delivery.

“The Centauri team joining our Data Services division means customers can now access business applications, data engineering, Microsoft Fabric, Power BI and AI capabilities under one roof and one engineering team,” he said.

“We’re already seeing existing CT customers raise Dynamics 365 conversations they’d previously parked, while Centauri customers now have access to the full CT capability set, including our 24x7 Security Operations Centre, sovereign hosting, managed services and modern workplace teams.”

For Darwent, who is supporting CT’s Growth Teams through the transition, joining CT represented an opportunity to expand both customer outcomes and career pathways for the Centauri team.

“When looking for a partner, it was essential that they cared deeply about customer satisfaction and provided a great home for our team," he said.

"CT fit that requirement perfectly. Both organisations align closely on being a great place to work and putting customers first. By being part of the CT team, we can move beyond supporting a niche part of a customer’s business applications environment into being a true end-to-end technology partner."

In 2025, CT acquired Canberra-based professional services provider Delivery Quality Assurance in a move aimed at strengthening its position in the Australian IT services market.
