Origo Acquires Microsoft Partner Kappa in Iceland
Icelandic IT company Origo has acquired Microsoft specialist Kappa to strengthen its business solutions portfolio. The purchase adds experienced Microsoft consultants to Origo's team as the company focuses entirely on Microsoft products. This consolidation reflects broader trends in Iceland's competitive technology sector.
Icelandic IT firm Origo has purchased all shares of software consultancy Kappa ehf. The acquisition strengthens Origo's position as a leading Microsoft partner in Iceland. Kappa specializes in implementing Microsoft Business Central, the latest generation of business systems from Microsoft.
This move forms part of Origo's strategy to expand its Microsoft solutions portfolio. The company aims to provide comprehensive services including Business Central, Power Platform, Fabric and Azure to Icelandic businesses.
Kappa was founded by Gunnar Þór Gests, who holds the Microsoft MVP recognition for Business Central. He has led complex financial system implementations for many of Iceland's largest companies. His team brings extensive experience and trust in their field.
With this purchase, Origo gains Kappa's skilled Microsoft specialists. The company deepens its ability to offer targeted advice and services for financial system implementations.
Ari Daníelsson, Origo's CEO, said in a statement that this marks a deliberate step toward becoming Iceland's leading Microsoft consultant. The company decided a year ago to focus entirely on Microsoft solutions after selling its SAP banking solutions.
"Gunnar is one of Iceland's most experienced Microsoft specialists," Daníelsson stated. "We see substantial opportunities for companies to use both Business Central in the cloud and Microsoft's powerful toolset. We're excited about the collaboration and what lies ahead."
Gunnar Þór, Kappa's founder, expressed enthusiasm about joining Origo's journey. He believes the merger creates great opportunities for clients through combined services.
"I look forward to working with and building Origo's Microsoft cloud solutions team," Gunnar said. "We will continue providing excellent service to both Kappa and Origo clients."
This acquisition reflects the ongoing consolidation in Iceland's technology sector. Companies are combining forces to offer more comprehensive Microsoft solutions in a competitive market. The move positions Origo as a stronger competitor against other IT service providers in the Nordic region.
