Akita is proud to announce that it has been recognised by the Global 100 Awards as ‘the ‘Leading Software Company 2026 – Reading, UK’.
The award highlighs the company’s commitment to delivering innovative software solutions, digital transformation services and technology consultancy to organisations across Berkshire, the Thames Valley and the wider UK.
The recognition places Akita amongst an international group of organisations acknowledged for excellence, innovation and business impact. According to the Global 100 awards programme, recipients are selected based on factors such as strategic impact, innovation, complexity of work and successful execution, recognising organisations that are helping to shape the future of their industries.
For Akita, the award reflects more than two decades of helping organisations harness technology to improve efficiency, increase visibility, strengthen security and support growth. As businesses continue to navigate growing operational demands, changing customer expectations and rapid advances in artificial intelligence, digital transformation has become a business imperative rather than a future ambition.
Helping Businesses Transform Through Technology
With operations in Reading and working with organisations throughout Berkshire and beyond, Akita works with public and private sector organisations to modernise the way they operate.
The company specialises in delivering solutions that connect systems, automate manual processes and provide real-time access to the information businesses need to make better decisions. From finance and operations to customer service, project delivery and workplace collaboration, Akita helps organisations replace disconnected processes with integrated digital platforms that support long-term growth.
Rather than focusing solely on software implementation, Akita adopts a consultative approach that aligns technology investments with wider business objectives. This ensures organisations gain measurable value from digital transformation projects while building a platform for future innovation.
Expertise Across Microsoft’s Technology Ecosystem
A key driver of Akita’s success has been its expertise across the Microsoft technology landscape.
The company delivers solutions spanning Microsoft Dynamics 365, Business Central, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Azure, Power Platform and Microsoft Copilot. These technologies enable organisations to streamline operations, improve reporting, enhance collaboration and unlock new efficiencies through automation and artificial intelligence.
As many organisations seek to consolidate systems and improve visibility across departments, Akita helps customers develop technology strategies that support both current requirements and future ambitions. This includes everything from ERP and CRM implementations through to cloud transformation, workflow automation and AI adoption.
By combining technical expertise with business understanding, Akita ensures software projects deliver meaningful outcomes rather than simply new technology.
Supporting Organisations Across Berkshire and the UK
Reading has long been recognised as one of the UK’s most significant technology hubs, hosting the UK headquarters and operations of many global technology organisations. As part of this thriving business community, Akita has established itself as a trusted technology partner for organisations throughout Berkshire and the wider South East.
The company works with organisations across a broad range of sectors including professional services, facilities management, financial services, construction, manufacturing, education and not-for-profit organisations.
Every organisation faces different challenges. Some require greater visibility across operations, whilst others seek to automate manual processes, strengthen cyber security or improve customer engagement. Akita’s ability to understand both the technology and business context behind these challenges has been central to its continued growth and success.
Driving Innovation Through AI and Automation
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a defining factor in business competitiveness. Organisations are increasingly exploring how AI can improve productivity, support decision-making and reduce administrative burdens across departments.
Akita has positioned itself at the forefront of this transformation by helping organisations understand, prepare for and deploy AI technologies effectively. Through Microsoft Copilot, Power Platform and AI readiness services, the company helps businesses identify practical opportunities to use AI while maintaining appropriate governance, security and compliance controls.
This pragmatic approach enables organisations to move beyond AI experimentation and begin realising measurable business value from emerging technologies.
A Commitment to Customer Success
Technology projects are rarely successful through software alone. Success comes from understanding business requirements, engaging stakeholders and supporting users throughout the transformation journey.
Akita’s reputation has been built on long-term customer relationships and a commitment to delivering solutions that create lasting value. The company’s teams work closely with clients from initial consultation through to implementation, training and ongoing support, ensuring organisations continue to maximise their technology investments long after projects go live.
This customer-first philosophy has helped establish Akita as a trusted adviser to organisations seeking both strategic guidance and practical technology expertise.
