The company’s North American strategy takes shape with the expansion of its Canadian and USA businesses…
UXC Eclipse (USA) Inc, the American arm of UXC Eclipse and a business unit of UXC Limited (ASX:UXC) has announced the acquisition of Tectura (USA) LLC, Tectura (AES) LLC and Tectura (Canada East) Limited, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tectura Corporation.
The financial details of the deal were not disclosed but, according to UXC Eclipse the acquisition will see it become one of the largest Microsoft Dynamics resellers in the Americas.
Tectura North America has existing deep consulting skills and Microsoft Dynamics experience, which will help UXC Eclipse to further extend its expertise across the US market. The UXC Eclipse Microsoft Dynamics customer base in the US was built on delivering solutions to the retail, mining, mining services, asset intensive and print industries. UXC Eclipse will now be able to extend this industry focus to include other verticals for manufacturing and life science, where Tectura North America has strong market share.
“This acquisition is strategic to UXC Eclipse’s goal to be the leading Gold Microsoft Dynamics Partner world-wide and to leverage on its existing success in the Australian, Pacific and North American markets,” said Cris Nicolli, managing director of UXC Limited.
UXC Eclipse is already well established in the Microsoft Dynamics community and has been a member of the Microsoft Inner Circle (the top one percent of Microsoft Dynamics resellers world-wide) since 2001. UXC Eclipse is also a recognised winner of over 22 Microsoft awards in the past seven years – most recently 2013 Microsoft Dynamics ERP Partner of the Year in Australia finalist and 2013 Microsoft Dynamics, Reseller of the Year, Canada.
The global UXC Eclipse team will now grow to nearly 600 people with a base of close to 2700 customers.
Microsoft welcomed the acquisition.
“We are excited about the possibilities this acquisition brings to our business and our customers,” said Neil Holloway, corporate VP of the Microsoft business solutions sales and operations.
“As a leading partner in the Asia Pacific region with proven success in driving and growing its Microsoft Dynamics practice in the Americas, UXC Eclipse has a well-earned reputation for providing the highest level of support and innovation.”
The global integration process of UXC Eclipse and Tectura North America, which share a business model that delivers end-to-end business management solutions based on Microsoft technologies, will be driven by UXC Eclipse global chief executive officer, Bradley Stroop.
“UXC Eclipse is a Gold Partner for Microsoft Dynamics ERP and CRM. UXC Limited is ranked one of the top two ‘providers of choice’ for Consulting Services by Gartner.
We’re looking to combine this experience and skill set with Tectura North America’s expertise in verticals in the US to deliver something very special to the Microsoft Dynamics community,” he said.
“There is a deep synergy between the UXC Eclipse and the Tectura North America teams and our approach to the Microsoft Dynamics marketplace.
