XEC, Inc. Chooses Cincom for its Microsoft Dynamics CRM Needs

Announcement posted by Cincom Systems of Australia Pty. Ltd. 17 May 2013

Less than a year after announcing that it had become a Microsoft Dynamics® CRM reseller, Cincom Systems has sold the product to XEC, Inc., a provider of controls, refrigeration and mission-critical solutions.

Cincom’s relationship with Microsoft has grown significantly over the past year.

In March 2012, Cincom announced that it had signed a strategic, global independent software vendor (ISV) agreement with Microsoft to deliver enhanced enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution capabilities. Cincom agreed to create a new ERP solution combining the breadth of Microsoft Dynamics AX with Cincom’s deep domain expertise in complex manufacturing.

In July 2012, Cincom furthered the relationship by adding its Cincom Acquire^® configure, price, quote (CPQ) software to the global ISV agreement. The agreement integrated Cincom Acquire with Microsoft Dynamics CRM. It also integrated the Cincom Guru™ business rule engine to knowledge-enable the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform by automating decision-making using business rules.

In August 2012, Cincom announced a new Microsoft Dynamics practice that would resell Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Microsoft Dynamics AX and Microsoft Office 365 in the United States.

In March 2013, Cincom announced its new Cincom Total™ ERP software, natively developed within the Microsoft Dynamics AX platform. Cincom Total is the only knowledge-driven ERP solution that enables manufacturers to manage and optimize their total business from complex selling through manufacturing to aftermarket services.

“Cincom is an example of an organization that is driving innovation in complex manufacturing. They are delivering solutions that help our customers save money and discover new ways to sell and achieve more,” said Doug Kennedy, Vice President, Microsoft Dynamics Enterprise Sales and Customer Lifecycle Management.
