UXC Eclipse acquires Microsoft Dynamics AX and Microsoft Business Intelligence divisions of Koorb Consulting


UXC Eclipse significantly expands footprint in New Zealand


UXC Eclipse (New Zealand) Ltd, a leading provider of intelligent business solutions to the enterprise and mid‐market, has acquired selected assets, being the Microsoft Dynamics AX and Microsoft Business Intelligence divisions, of Koorb Consulting (1999) Ltd in New Zealand. UXC Eclipse is a wholly owned subsidiary of UXC Limited.


Koorb Consulting is a highly successful Microsoft Dynamics Gold Partner with 16 years history in the New Zealand market. Koorb has built a customer base of more than 90 Microsoft Dynamics AX and Business Intelligence sites.


The acquisition positions UXC Eclipse as the largest Microsoft Dynamics AX partner in New Zealand and one of the top two largest AX partners globally. Expanding the New Zealand business will bring the UXC Eclipse team to well over 600 people and customer numbers to over 2,700 globally.


Mr Cris Nicolli, UXC's Managing Director, said: 'In the last 18 months, UXC Eclipse made two significant acquisitions in North America, growing the company in the United States to over 200 people with local revenues currently at $68m. Today's acquisition sees a renewed focus on the APAC region, where we have always been highly successful. It will cement UXC Eclipse's position as the largest Microsoft Dynamics AX partner in New Zealand, expanding the business with more than 50 staff and over 200 local customers.


Microsoft Dynamics AX is the flagship enterprise and upper‐midmarket ERP solution for Microsoft and one of its fastest growing product lines. With more than 55 per cent of UXC Eclipse's revenue expected to come from the AX product suite in FY2016, this acquisition supports the strategic direction of the business.'


UXC Eclipse will integrate the Koorb Dynamics AX and Business Intelligence professional services teams within its existing New Zealand professional services infrastructure. Koorb and UXC Eclipse will continue to work collaboratively in the local market with a preferred partner relationship. Koorb will continue to operate focusing on its Microsoft CRM and SharePoint business streams.
