Ever wondered what ECLEVA really means or how it came to be? From the story behind the name to its industry expertise, here are seven intriguing facts about ECLEVA that you might not know! 

ECLEVA is a creative fusion of “electronic” and “clever,” perfectly encapsulating the company’s mission: Innovative Ideas Delivered Simply. Pronounced /ek-lev-uh/, the name reflects both technology and intelligence. 

Beyond that, ECLEVA also represents its six core values: 

• Enterprising 
• Collaborative 
• Leadership 
• Engaged 
• Value 
• Act with Integrity 

Interestingly, the company was originally going to be named ECLEVI—with “I” standing for Integrity. However, CEO Patrick Northcott and Managing Partner Martin Halmarick found that “ECLEVI” didn’t roll off the tongue as smoothly, leading to the final version: ECLEVA. 

ECLEVA’s logo isn’t just aesthetically pleasing—it represents the company’s core principles. The design, shaped like the first two letters of “ECLEVA,” features interconnected cogs inside a blue semi-circle. 

According to CEO Patrick Northcott, these cogs symbolize efficiency and smart solutions—a visual representation of how ECLEVA simplifies complex business challenges. 

The blue and white color scheme reinforces professionalism and reliability, staying true to the legacy of its predecessor brands, PNP Solutions and S1 Consulting. 

Although ECLEVA was officially launched as a brand in 2017, it is backed by decades of experience. The company is the result of a strategic merger between two industry-leading Australian firms—S1 Consulting and PNP Solutions. 

Northcott and Halmarick first collaborated in the early 2000s, developing strategies for selling, demonstrating, and hosting CRM solutions. Their successful partnership naturally evolved into the decision to merge their companies, strengthening their ability to deliver cutting-edge technology solutions. 

What sets ECLEVA apart from other business technology providers? They speak the language of business first. 

Rather than overwhelming clients with tech jargon, ECLEVA prioritizes understanding industry needs before recommending solutions. 

“The more we understand an industry, the faster we can deliver real value to our clients,” says ECLEVA Sales Manager, Antun Scurla. 

ECLEVA specializes in five key industries: 

• Education 
• Not-for-Profit 
• Construction 
• Finance 
• Professional Services 

ECLEVA holds prestigious Microsoft certifications, proving its expertise in business technology solutions: 

• Microsoft Gold Partner in CRM 
• Silver Partner in Cloud Services 
• Microsoft Authorized Education Partner, a distinction awarded to experts in Microsoft Academic product suites. 

Beyond Microsoft, ECLEVA collaborates with top-tier vendors like ClickDimensions, Marketo, Unit4, and Elsevier Pure. These partnerships allow ECLEVA to deliver innovative, tailor-made solutions that meet complex business requirements efficiently. 

If you work in higher education, you might have heard of EduRe—ECLEVA’s game-changing CRM solution designed specifically for universities, TAFEs, and educational institutions. 

Originally developed in 2011 by S1 and PNP, EduRe (/ej-uh-ray/) is a cloud-based, cost-effective CRM module that streamlines both student and commercial engagement processes. Fully customizable and scalable, EduRe adapts to institutions of any size, automating key administrative tasks to improve efficiency.

Before shifting focus to Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementations, ECLEVA (then PNP Solutions) provided traditional IT services like hardware and network solutions. 

However, after identifying a gap in the market, the company pivoted towards business-driven digital transformation. By focusing on CRM and business applications, ECLEVA enables companies to achieve their strategic goals through tailored technology solutions. 

What’s Next for ECLEVA? 

ECLEVA continues to grow, acquiring new clients across Australia and looking to expand into America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. 

If your business values innovation, efficiency, and collaboration, ECLEVA might be the perfect technology partner for you.
