11th March, 2010: Maxima, the leading IT solutions and managed services company, has assumed ongoing development and certification responsibility for miraclePAY - a specialist payroll solution for users of the Microsoft Dynamics® AX adaptable business management solution. Maxima already has extensive expertise in specialist functional areas such as payroll, and the company is ideally placed to support the growing number of organisations that require a fully-certified payroll solution for their Microsoft Dynamics AX implementations.

Maxima will also offer a complete range of implementation and support services for the miraclePAY solution. Maxima has over 20 years' experience of developing and supporting payroll solutions across a range of software platforms. Under the agreement between Maxima and Miracle Dynamics, Maxima will develop all statutory upgrades for miraclePAY, and will also maintain full HMRC certification as well as further functional enhancements for the software solution.
"Maxima is delighted to take over the development responsibility of the miraclePAY payroll solution for Microsoft Dynamics AX, as we know there's a strong demand for a fully HMRC-approved payroll application for the Microsoft Dynamics AX world," commented Paul Adams, General Manager, Microsoft Business Solutions at Maxima. "Payroll is clearly a business-critical requirement for many of our customers, and Maxima is committed to miraclePAY's forward development, ensuring that the application integrates fully with our other Microsoft Dynamics AX solutions, and also operates according to the latest HMRC certification requirements.
"We believe that this announcement again confirms Maxima as the right choice for organisations looking to deploy Microsoft technologies at the heart of their business. Customers coming to Maxima know they can be assured of high quality Microsoft Dynamics AX development, and they can now also take advantage of our extensive payroll expertise as part of their broader Microsoft deployments," added Paul Adams.
"Maxima has demonstrated strong and continued commitment to the Microsoft Dynamics AX suite of business management applications, and we welcome and support the agreement between Maxima and Miracle Dynamics to secure the long-term success of the miraclePAY payroll solution for AX customers," said Fiona Nolan, Product Manager for Microsoft Dynamics AX at Microsoft.
With the addition of the AX Payroll application, Maxima now supports and maintains three separate payroll systems within its Business Solutions portfolio, and also retains its own full-time in-house payroll consultant to support its solutions. According to Maxima's Paul Adams: "miraclePAY can now give Microsoft Dynamics AX customers what they've been looking for: the like-for-like functionality and quality that comes from working with a solutions expert like Maxima, along with the performance they've come to expect from their Microsoft Dynamics AX applications."
