Overview
Catapult Systems is an Austin-headquartered Microsoft-focused services firm founded in 1993. The company was acquired by Quisitive Technology Solutions in November 2021 and now operates as the Catapult Systems division of Quisitive. Employee headcount sits in the 300 to 500 range, with revenue estimated in the US$80 million to US$120 million range as a private business. The firm has historically been Microsoft Partner of the Year for the United States in multiple categories and maintains Gold competencies across Microsoft cloud, modern work, and security solution areas.
The Catapult practice focuses on Microsoft 365, Azure infrastructure and platform, Power Platform, security with Defender and Sentinel, and limited Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement work. The firm differentiates on Microsoft-only depth, rapid mid-market delivery, and US public sector experience. Quisitive parent ownership brings adjacent capability in Dynamics 365 F&O, payments via the LedgerPay platform, and broader Microsoft solution areas, although day-to-day Catapult delivery remains brand-distinct.
Buyers typically engage Catapult Systems for Microsoft 365 and Azure modernisation, Copilot pilots, Power Platform centre-of-excellence stand-ups, and public sector cloud migrations. The firm fits mid-market and upper mid-market organisations, particularly in the southern and central United States. Large global enterprises requiring multi-region rollout or deep Dynamics F&O capability typically look to Avanade, HSO, or Hitachi Solutions instead.

Strengths
- Microsoft-only focus with consistent depth across M365, Azure, Power Platform, and Security
- Multiple Microsoft US Partner of the Year wins across modern work, security, and Power Platform categories
- Strong public sector and US state and local government track record, particularly in Texas
- Mid-market commercial structure supports projects below $500K that tier-1 SIs decline
- Quisitive parent extends capability into Dynamics 365 F&O without sacrificing Catapult brand identity
- US-centric onshore delivery is attractive to buyers in regulated and public sectors
Limitations
- Limited international presence — non-US delivery requires Quisitive group support or partners
- Smaller bench than HSO, Hitachi Solutions, or Avanade — capacity constraints on large simultaneous projects
- Acquisition integration risk from the Quisitive ownership and the broader Quisitive corporate restructurings (PE involvement 2024–2025)
- Less deep on Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations than dedicated F&O specialists
- Brand recognition outside Microsoft channel and US public sector is modest
