UXC Eclipse

UXC Eclipse was recently named the 2015 Microsoft Dynamics Industry Partner of the Year. The company has invested heavily in delivering Dynamics AX in the retail sector, and their efforts are paying off in North America and Australia. The global company recently reported $20 million in new AX business over the last four months.

The Australian company, part of UXC Limited, has been growing its North American consulting presence in recent years with acquisitions like Tectura North America and the retail-focused Dynamics AX partner Cole Systems. UXC Limited's 2014 annual report put the North American revenue at greater than $70 million (Australian) following the Tectura acquisition.

The North American retail push is led by Matt Calderwood, who holds two titles at the company - North American executive vice president and CEO of Retail Solutions. The latter title means he is responsible for the overall direction, sales, and strategy of UXC Eclipse retail offerings.

UXC Eclipse now sees three quarters of its new revenue coming from retail clients, Calderwood says. Major clients in North America include Canadian pharmacy chain Jean Coutu Group, Bartell Drugs, DAVIDs Tea, Carol's Daughter, Sherry‐Lehmann Wines & Spirits, Everlast, and David's Bridal.

One reason for the careful focus on retail is the advances made in AX 2012 R3 that now supports a deep, retail-centric practice. Calderwood explains:
