Ocean Yacht Systems Sails Along With Epicor(R)

Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC) today announced that
Ocean Yacht Systems has signed a contract to implement Epicor 9,
the next-generation Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system from
Epicor, giving the company a centralized system for all processes
from sales to production planning, inventory and warehouse
management and finance. Ocean Yacht Systems is the global market
leader in the design and manufacture of superyacht rigging and
hydraulics -- a position it has held for ten years.
The new implementation will allow Ocean Yacht Systems to
streamline its processes, remove errors and duplication of tasks,
control costs and achieve great efficiency across the organization.
Real-time access to information will enable project managers to
cost projects "on the fly" and monitor spend against budget on
individual jobs. In addition, field sales teams will be able to
quote for clients with access to live data on a wide range of
mobile devices, update clients on the status of orders, or check
product availability.
"We chose Epicor because it provided the best overall
performance and benefits for us in the long-term," said Wayne
Shatwell, commercial director at Ocean Yacht Systems. "It was by
far the most flexible modular-based system -- I liked the notion
that you can start out with a small set of modules and scale or
expand at a later date with great ease. It was also the only
solution presented as 'future proof' in that all upgrades are
included in the standard support contract."
The Epicor solution will replace a number of disparate
applications and manual processes that came into being over the
years since Ocean Yacht Systems' last major systems overhaul.
Epicor won the contract following a three-way review of competing
solutions, which included the customers' incumbent vendor.
Shatwell added, "Epicor was by far the most versatile system
offering users greater control to self manage, administer and
program their own system, through business process management and
reporting tools. Most of our former systems programming was
entirely hard coded, meaning that any modifications to a module or
report would require costly consultancy fees, for work that was not
supported by our service contract."
Staff at Ocean Yacht Systems use Microsoft Office applications
such as Project and Outlook® daily, and integration with these was
an important consideration during the review process. Epicor offers
seamless integration with Outlook for tasks, reminders and e-mail
notifications linked to actions in the system. Ocean Yacht Systems
project managers will be able to export production plans to
Microsoft Project, make changes to them, and then import them
directly back into Epicor, updating the production schedules.
"Epicor is very pleased to be working with Ocean Yacht Systems
to streamline their operations," said Roy Shooter, vice president
sales for Epicor. "The level of integration they needed with their
existing information worker environment made Epicor a natural
choice, along with our cost effective maintenance program."
