Epicor(R) ERP in the Cloud Gaining Momentum
September 22 2010 - 8:00AM
Marketwired
Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of
enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and
divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that Epicor
Express -- the on-demand version of its award-winning Epicor 9
next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution --
continues its successful debut, with more than 40 percent of the
customers who've signed up already live today.
Epicor Express -- launched this year in May -- is a complete
end-to-end ERP solution provided in the Software-as-a-Service
(SaaS) model. Epicor Express delivers broad functionality,
particularly for the specific needs of job shops and small to
midsize businesses. It is priced affordably with a deployment model
that minimizes complexity. In order to maximize the benefits of the
cloud, Epicor Express runs on a multi-tenant, shared database
environment via a single application instance.
"Epicor Express is gaining remarkable momentum with businesses
who have been somewhat underserved by the manufacturing and
distribution capabilities of alternative offerings targeting larger
companies," said James Norwood, senior vice president, worldwide
product marketing for Epicor. "Epicor understands that small and
midsize companies have the same business needs as their larger
counterparts, so as we developed Epicor Express we were careful to
balance extensive functionality in one complete system with a
simplified solution that would make more sense for smaller users.
We expect the adoption of Epicor Express to continue increasing as
users are unable to find a depth of functionality, modern and agile
technology, and flexible terms of service in any other SaaS ERP
solution on the market today."
The Epicor Difference
Businesses increasingly require a fully integrated system to
manage their customers and contacts, opportunities and orders,
products and production, and accounting and payroll; however, many
SaaS providers have fallen short when it comes to delivering
overall business functionality in an end-to-end system, making
Epicor Express the front-runner in comparison to its competition.
Epicor Express provides businesses with everything they need to
manage their opportunities, orders and operations in one integrated
solution.
Epicor Express leverages core functionality that has been in use
and proven by thousands of customers over the past 25 years,
offering a game changing opportunity for small and midsize
businesses. Effectively, Epicor took its next-generation ERP
solution and created a lower cost means to implement a world-class
ERP suite by delivering it in the cloud.
Dayson Polymers, LLC, a full line
distributor specializing in engineering plastic resins, is
currently a three-person company that operates out of remote
offices throughout the U.S., requiring them to implement a
Web-based system to easily access and manage their business. Having
previously invested in a SaaS ERP solution, Dayson switched to
Epicor Express as a result of poor customer service and escalating
subscription fees.
"With our previous SaaS ERP provider it took up to six months to
resolve an issue, forcing us to carry on business with workarounds
until the problem was fixed. Exceptional customer service and a
regional support team were among the main factors that led us to
choose Epicor," said Chris Schmeltzer, manager, Dayson Polymers.
"We also experienced increasing yearly subscription fees and
finally had to seek a more cost-effective solution. Epicor Express
provides us with real-time visibility over our customers, orders
and financials at a fixed monthly fee we can afford."
Pacific Electronics is a leading
manufacturer of high-quality electronic products and components for
a large and diverse customer base. Based in Woodstock, Illinois
with sales offices in Taiwan and China, Pacific Electronics
required global ERP capabilities in one integrated solution to
support its back-end business and industry-specific needs. Formerly
operating on an expensive SaaS ERP system with limited
functionality, the company was looking to replace it with a
complete end-to-end cloud solution that fit their business
requirements -- making Epicor Express the right choice.
"We chose Epicor Express because it is the most cost-effective
cloud solution," said James Gorman, president and COO of Pacific
Electronics. "Epicor Express is a full-service ERP solution that is
integrated with every aspect of the company, enabling us to improve
our overall 'way of doing business.' Epicor Express offers all of
the essential functionality we require to remain competitive and
profitable."
Flexible Foundation for the Future
Based on the same source code as Epicor 9, Epicor Express has
the flexibility and functionality to accommodate future
requirements and growth so users can move up and down Epicor's
continuum of editions and deployment models (i.e. multi-tenant
SaaS, hosted, on-premise, etc). Built from the ground up using a
service-oriented architecture (SOA), Epicor has flexible business
architecture that is ideal for the cloud. With Epicor Express,
businesses have the choice to do what makes the most sense for them
at any particular time. The ability to grow with the system and mix
and match deployment models makes Epicor a truly unique
offering.
