Our Story

Reacting to a market demand for better integration and a simpler user experience within Microsoft 365, Suzy and Wes founded Addin365.
With Microsoft’s expansion of Microsoft 365 capabilities to include new services such as Delve, Stream and Sway, we announced a mission statement to help support those organisations wanting to make the most of these new capabilities.
We produced three pioneering products, bringing them to market in November 2015: Addin Intranet for intranet, Addin Work Hub for productivity and Addin Analytics for insight. These products revolutionised our customers’ investment in Microsoft by plugging the gaps in the Microsoft 365 platform and bringing together different Microsoft services into set packages, to meet specific business needs.
