Avanade was formed in April 2000, as a joint venture between Andersen Consulting (later Accenture) and Microsoft,[5] and today is majority-owned by Accenture. The company maintains the Accenture-Microsoft alliance to combine Accenture's consulting with Microsoft's scalable cloud and mobile technologies.[6] The name Avanade is a portmanteau between avenue and promenade.[5]

In July 2020, Avanade joined the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), an alliance of autonomous tech suppliers and defense service providers who have partnered with Microsoft Defense to help protect themselves against an environment of increasing cybersecurity threats.[8]

In April 2022, Avanade announced the building of its first US-based engineering center in Tampa, Florida, adding around 500 new entry- and senior-level engineering, data and software development jobs over the next three years.[9]

In September 2024, Rodrigo Caserta has stepped into the role as CEO of Avanade as Pamela Maynard has accepted a new role as Chief AI Transformation Officer for Microsoft Customer and Partner Solutions (MCAPS). Pamela Maynard has been with Avanade for 16 years.
