"Altico Advisors is the perfect fit. The company has a fast-growing Microsoft Dynamics practice, strong reputation and the same commitment to excellence as Ariett."

"With more than 1,000 global customers using our Purchase and Expense Software, it was time to focus solely on our core business," said Brodie. Ariett's existing relationship with Altico makes the company confident that Altico Advisors will take exceptional care of Ariett's Microsoft Dynamics GP clients during the transition and for the long term.
