GI Group UK selects Transparity to support and manage its UK & Ireland Microsoft platform

The challenge

In line with its parent company’s SAP and Microsoft strategy, GI Group has managed its finances using Microsoft Navision. This included maintaining local test and development environments, while the global group owned the production instance. 

GI Group UK’s acquisition strategy highlighted the need for a UK-based partner. Transparity was recommended by its parent company in Italy. 

Martin Gunn, IT Director at GI Group UK, said:

“We came out of our initial discussions with Transparity with the confidence they understood our business requirements and had the skills and experience needed to get us where we needed to be with Microsoft Navision.” 

The Outcome

GI Group UK now has a reliable, scalable Microsoft platform that supports both day-to-day operations and ongoing growth through acquisition. With Transparity providing fast, responsive support and a flexible engagement model, the business has been able to seamlessly onboard new acquisitions, reduce operational pressure on internal teams, and increase confidence in its finance systems. What was once a potential point of risk is now a stable foundation, with a clear pathway to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in the cloud enabling future agility, efficiency, and continued expansion.
