03Infrastructure

On your IBM Power i, or ours.

We are a certified IBM distributor and business partner. That means hardware, operating system, database and the software on top are one conversation, not four vendors pointing at each other.

Hardware

IBM Power sales, installation, upgrades and PowerVM virtualization.

Continuity

Backups, monitoring and remote support from the same team that wrote the code.

04Since 1994

Two IBM engineers, one border town, thirty years of uptime.

Daniel Salazar and Robert Perez started Eclipse Consulting in September 1994 to bring software and hardware consulting to IBM midrange customers in South Texas. Daniel spent ten years as an IBM software engineer. Robert has been programming on IBM platforms since 1981, from the System/34 through Power i.

Today we build the ABI and ACE software that customs brokers use to clear freight at the border, the accounting that sits behind it, and the infrastructure it runs on. Same two founders, same phone number.

05Clients

Twenty-year relationships, not transactions.

Brokers and importers across the Texas border, many with us since the 1990s.

Robert and the staff at Eclipse have been instrumental in creating the operational software that keeps our company competitive. The professionalism and innovation they bring to the development process is second to none.

Jose Valencia

CEO

We have done business with Eclipse Consulting for 20 years and I could not imagine trying to get by without their expertise. Whether it is a channel to US Customs, a VPN tunnel with our clients, or a new application, Robert and Dan have given us professional, on time service.

John Cain

CEO

Their new program is web browser based and gives a more contemporary look and function. The Report Scheduler lets you set up performance reports on operations and clerks and send them by email weekly or monthly. The system can interface with any Mexican import software.

Director, US Customs Operations
