"Epicor has been helping midmarket manufacturers address business challenges and seize new opportunities for more than 40 years with tens of thousands of plants. We focus on offering end-to-end, industry-specific solutions, and because we know that no two manufacturers are the same, we seek to understand how our customers manufacture within each of their particular industries to meet their unique requirements," says Dick Schultz, director, product marketing, Epicor. "Achieving TEC Certification validates the rich out-of-the-box feature sets in Epicor ERP that have been designed specifically to support our customers' various manufacturing processes."

Based on TEC's ERP software comparison data, Epicor is one of the richest and most complete manufacturing ERP products, and the same can be said for the realm of financial applications and solutions for small business.1 "We believe that the overall high support level and the advantages of flexibility and multiple deployment options give Epicor ERP version 10 a strong competitive edge," said Aleksey Osintsev, senior ERP analyst, Technology Evaluation Centers.
