Overview
Alithya Group inc. Is a publicly traded Canadian IT services firm listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Nasdaq (ALYA). Headquartered in Montreal, Alithya employs roughly 3,500 to 4,000 people across 26 locations in Canada, the United States, France, Morocco, and India. Annual revenue for fiscal year 2025 was approximately US$473 million, with Q2 FY2026 revenue growing 11.5 percent year on year to US$124 million. CEO Paul Raymond has led the firm since the 2018 merger that combined Alithya, Edgewater, and several regional Microsoft practices.
The Microsoft practice is one of three primary technology pillars alongside Oracle and SAP. Alithya delivers Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Business Central, Customer Engagement, Power Platform, Azure, and Microsoft Fabric. The firm achieved the 2025–2026 Microsoft AI Business Solutions Inner Circle award, placing it in the top echelon of Microsoft's global partner network. Industry IP focuses on financial services, energy and utilities, manufacturing, healthcare, and public sector.
Buyers typically engage Alithya for mid-to-large Dynamics 365 programmes in North America and France, often where Oracle, SAP, or custom legacy systems sit alongside Microsoft. The firm's bilingual (English-French) delivery in Canada and the Northeast US is a notable differentiator. Smaller SMB engagements or pure offshore engagements may be better served by India-based specialists or boutique Business Central partners.

Strengths
- Bilingual English-French delivery across Quebec, Ontario, and northeast US — material for Canadian federal and provincial work
- Microsoft AI Business Solutions Inner Circle membership for 2025–2026

- Public-market governance and audited disclosure provide commercial transparency
- Healthcare and financial services vertical IP, particularly for analytics-led Dynamics deployments

Limitations
- Smaller than Avanade, HSO, and Hitachi Solutions globally — limited bench depth for very large simultaneous rollouts
- Brand awareness lower outside North America; European footprint concentrated in France
- Roll-up history (multiple acquisitions) has produced uneven capability quality across former-acquired teams
- Limited presence in Asia-Pacific beyond an offshore India centre
- Pricing pressure from larger SIs may reduce flexibility on complex multi-country deals
