Adaptable Solutions offers one-stop shop for Microsoft Dynamics CRM, AX and SL.

Today, Complete Solutions DG Ltd. and Adaptable Solutions Ltd. announced a merger, and will begin trading as Adaptable Solutions Ltd. effective immediately.

This merger strengthens Adaptable Solution’s position as one of the leading Microsoft Dynamics partners in New Zealand, with its offering now encompassing Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Dynamics AX and Microsoft Dynamics SL solutions.

Existing staff numbers have almost doubled, with 10 CRM and ERP certified specialists joining the team – producing the most experienced Dynamics support team in New Zealand.

Managing Director and founder of Adaptable Solutions, Duncan Cox, believes the time is right to take full advantage of the growth in integrated CRM, ERP and cloud computing.

“Organisations are increasingly extending the use of ERP systems to include CRM. They want the power of Dynamics CRM from a single supplier. In consolidating the support and sale of Microsoft Dynamics AX and SL, and adding greater resources to the business, the merger allows us to take full advantage of the growth in integrated CRM,” says Duncan.

“Microsoft’s recent release of CRM Online also enables us to offer a cloud computing solution, a technology we expect to see emerge as a force in the ERP market in the near future.”

Lindsay Zwart, Microsoft Dynamics New Zealand Manager, says this merger is an exciting time for the industry.

“The success of this new organisation lies in the experienced staff and breadth of offering. This represents a time of strength in the Dynamics industry – we anticipate partners and customers focusing further on cloud solutions and competition increasing as they rise to the standards set by Adaptable Solutions.”

Prior to merging, both organisations developed add-on modules for the Dynamics AX and SL products and marketed these internationally through the Microsoft Dynamics reseller channel. Combined as Adaptable Solutions, they have established resellers in more than 20 countries around the world.

The merger is being effected by the issue of 40% of the shares in Adaptable Solutions Ltd to Complete Solutions DG Ltd, which in turn is owned by Data Group Ltd and interests associated with John Biggs. The company directors will now include Duncan Cox as Managing Director, John Biggs as Director of Sales and Marketing, and Rollo Gillespie and Richard Carlyon as Directors.

Adaptable Solutions has expanded its head office in Auckland and will continue to operate from existing premises in Christchurch and Wellington.
