The partnership builds on Maxima's existing success to date in the Irish construction sector working with major contractors including Sisk and Murphy Group, and complements Maxima Ireland's established Dublin-based virtualisation and managed services practice which already supports many of the country's leading organisations including Ryanair, EBS, Eirgrid and the Department of Justice and Law Reform. Under the joint initiative, Maxima and Sysco will provide Irish construction firms with integrated MAXcel-based Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP solutions that combine Maxima's sector expertise with local delivery and support from Sysco offices in Dublin and Belfast.
"Partnering with Sysco makes excellent sense for Maxima as both organisations have complementary skills and together can provide Irish construction firms with a compelling enterprise software proposition based around Microsoft Dynamics AX and our specialist MAXcel offering for the Construction Industry," commented Paul Adams, Managing Director of Maxima's Business Solutions division.
"Current economic pressures place an even greater
importance on the kind of business control and
contractor management available through MAXcel, and we
look forward to working closely with Maxima and
bringing the benefits of our joint approach to the
Irish construction sector," added Paul Bingham,
Managing Director of Sysco's Northern Ireland
operations. "Maxima and Sysco both have a strong
local presence, and together we're ideally placed
to support Irish construction firms with the delivery,
support and ongoing maintenance skills they need to put
Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP and Maxima's MAXcel
solution to work in their businesses."
With over 20 years' in-depth experience and over
300 Construction industry customers, Maxima brings
proven sector expertise to its MAXcel - Microsoft
Dynamics AX ERP for the Construction Industry solution.
MAXcel extends the power of Microsoft Dynamics AX with
the sector-specific support construction firms demand,
whether they're in design-and-build, service
management, plant hire or facilities management. MAXcel

including MAXcel Contract Sales, Contract Management,
