Realizing Success Through:
Epicor – Innovation
4. As a technology innovator, Epicor is a leader in the adoption and delivery of Web
services as well as the development of model-driven, service-oriented architectures. These
technologies are robust enough for a Global 1000 corporation, yet practical enough for
the stand-alone enterprise. Our advanced solutions inspire and enable your company’s
growth, and provide the agility to match your changing business environment.
Epicor has a long, successful history of innovation and leading-edge technology adoption,
particularly through our partnership with Microsoft®
as an elite Global Alliance Partner
and a Gold Certified Partner. Epicor has a close working relationship with Microsoft,
enabling us to be one of the first enterprise providers to deliver solutions leveraging
Microsoft SQL Server®
, Office Business Applications, XML, and .NET technologies. Our
expertise leveraging the Microsoft .NET Framework and Web services allows us to offer
complete solutions that can be implemented on-premise, hosted, or in the cloud. Then,
as business conditions dictate, the solution can evolve as well—scaling to meet the
opportunities of growth, entering new markets, increased competition—and adapting to
maximize efficiency and profits.
When you invest in an Epicor solution, you invest in
a highly proven, flexible, and progressive technology
platform that scales to meet your aspirations.

Innovating Technology
5. When you implement an Epicor solution, you’ve made an excellent investment—for the short and long term.
Designed to stimulate performance and deliver prompt operational excellence across your enterprise, our
products deliver the unmatched scalability and flexibility to handle the rigors of a globally distributed value chain.
Epicor solutions are focused on minimizing the cost and complexity of implementation, integration, and support
by allowing your employees to focus on business processes and best practices rather than technology. By
delivering business applications that can be implemented and managed as services—easily deployed anywhere,
on any device—we can provoke the low total cost of ownership (TCO) and rapid return on investment (ROI) that
translate into an improved top and bottom line, and, ultimately, to market inspiration.
6. Market leaders are driven by industry focus, disciplined innovation,
improved efficiency, and reduced complexity. Relying on a business system
created by bolting together products from a variety of vendors after the
fact is hardly an efficient way to reduce complexity—in fact, it creates it.

Motivating Market Leaders
7. With Epicor, you can inspire the efficiency of your IT resources
through partnership with a world-class, full-suite solution provider
that can support you worldwide. Our end-to-end, industry-specific
applications and strong domain expertise provide you with a
complete solution for your business and industry.
8. Today’s manufacturers must
identify, consider, and respond
to a new set of challenges and variables almost every day. Some are
due to the extended enterprise and globalization of manufacturing,
while other challenges are the result of internal inefficiencies
that affect dimensions such as cost, quality, or response time.
The need to blend business processes with those of customers,
suppliers, other plants, warehouses, and distribution channels make
manufacturing today even more complex.
Epicor provides enterprise resource planning (ERP) software
solutions to maximize efficiencies within the four walls of each
manufacturing plant, while providing innovative technology to
inspire efficiency across the globally extended enterprise. The
comprehensive Epicor solution portfolio enables manufacturers to
plan, schedule, execute, and monitor the entire business—from raw
materials to final product, to pick, pack, and ship. With a full range
of functionality, Epicor provides manufacturers with flexibility and
agility, and inspires a competitive edge.
