Jade provides a suite of solutions to the NZ Tertiary sector including Universities, Polytechnics, Private Training Establishments, Wananga and Industry Training Organisations. In a commitment to expanding its ability to meet the needs of the sector for integrated solutions, Jade has alliances with a range of companies and technologies.

Under the partnering agreement Business Mechanix provides CRM consultancy services to Jade’s customers and Microsoft products which are fully integrated with the Jade Student Management System, providing a comprehensive solution for full student lifecycle management.

Business Mechanix’s Managing Director, Wayne Stewart, said "A number of factors made this choice of partnership easy. Forward and open thinking of the two companies has resulted in an innovative and powerful combination of solutions in direct response to current tertiary sector requirements. JADE SMS is a functionally rich, open product with a lot of depth and breadth. Having built-in web-services has removed any barriers to integration and allows JADE SMS to be interoperable with other products such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM."

Jade’s Head of Marketing, Sales and Channel Management, Gavin Mitchell, said "The experience of Business Mechanix in the area of CRM, and in the tertiary sector, is an important addition to the services we can offer. NZ Tertiary institutes require solutions developed for their changing market, and with the combination of JADE SMS and Microsoft Dynamics CRM configured by Business Mechanix, they can be confident of innovative offerings that meet their specific needs."
