XEC, Inc. Chooses Cincom for Its Microsoft Dynamic

CINCINNATI, OH--(Marketwired - Apr 24, 2013) - Less than a year after announcing that it had become a Microsoft Dynamics® CRM reseller, Cincom Systems ( http://www.cincom.com ) 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.
