Avanade was formed in April 2000, as a joint venture between Andersen Consulting (later Accenture) and Microsoft, and today is majority-owned by Accenture.

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.

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.
