Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC) today unveiled Epicor
Manufacturing Express Edition (Epicor Express), the on-demand
version of its award winning Epicor 9 next-generation enterprise
resource planning (ERP) solution. Based on more than twenty-five
years experience and expertise in serving the needs of small to
midsize businesses, Epicor Express offers a modern, comprehensive
end-to-end solution for job shops and smaller manufacturers
provided through the Software as a Service (SaaS) model.
Understanding the fiscal complexities, capital constraints and
challenges confronting smaller manufacturers in today's business
environment, Epicor Express was developed specifically with these
businesses in mind and delivered in a model that reduces IT
complexity, enables them to get up and running quickly, and
decreases ongoing operational costs.
"We're excited to be delivering a compelling new solution to a
market that's been particularly underserved," said Epicor Chairman,
President and CEO George Klaus. "The cost savings are undeniable
and well-suited for today's economic climate, as Epicor Express
eliminates many of the barriers that keep job shops and smaller
manufacturers from implementing or upgrading to the
enterprise-class software they increasingly need to support
innovation and growth. The investment we've made in an agile,
on-demand, multi-tenant business architecture means that even the
smallest manufacturer can benefit from the advantages of a
comprehensive ERP solution delivered via the Cloud."
Compelling and Credible Delivery Model
SaaS has quickly gained popularity because of the many benefits it
offers to businesses of all sizes, including lower entry costs,
shorter deployment time, elimination of hardware and software
maintenance, vendor managed upgrades, global availability and
seamless integration.
Chirch Global Manufacturing, LLC (www.chirchmfg.com) designs and
builds close-tolerance progressive dies and manufactures
high-quality metal stampings and assemblies. Chirch Global's
world-wide manufacturing resources serve the automotive, consumer
display, electrical, electronic, medical, hardware, office
equipment, cellular communications, environmental and military
industries. The company is ISO TS/16949 certified and was searching
for an enterprise-class ERP solution that aligned with the business
objectives of empowering its manufacturing network and business
partners to "compete with anyone... anywhere in the world" with
high-quality, low cost manufacturing. Chirch Global found the ideal
solution with the Epicor Express SaaS ERP model.
"The Epicor Express SaaS model allows us to focus on our core
competencies and more important initiatives, such as growth and
expansion, rather than managing networks, hardware and software,"
said Anthony L. Chirchirillo, Chief Executive Officer of Chirch
Global. "The financial, implementation and operational benefits of
the Epicor Express solution are what drove us to move forward with
a SaaS model. With Epicor Express we will be able to accurately
budget our IT costs on a year-to-year basis, as moving ERP to Cloud
computing reduces our long-term IT costs. Operationally, Epicor
Express levels the playing field as now we have an ERP system that
is comparable to what best-in-class and much larger entities
utilize."
Comprehensive Functionality for Job Shops and
Small Manufacturers Based on Epicor's experience of providing
solutions to thousands of small and midsized businesses worldwide,
Epicor Express is uniquely positioned to deliver the comprehensive
functionality manufacturers require to manage their business.
Epicor Express includes customer relationship management, financial
management, production, product and material management
functionality, as well as business intelligence, business process
management, and the Epicor ICE business architecture featuring
Epicor True SOA™ to drive internal process efficiencies, user
productivity, and ultimately enhance bottom line profitability.
Faster Time to Value The simple, straight
forward subscription-based licensing model of Epicor Express means
there are no large up-front costs. Instead there is a rapid
implementation approach and affordable monthly fee that covers
everything from software, hardware, operating system, support,
training resources, and on-going system maintenance and upgrades.
The combination of the subscription model, low capital outlay, and
a streamlined implementation process that supports customers
getting up and running in as little as twenty business days means
that businesses can quickly realize a return on their
investment.
Reduced IT Complexity A significant
benefit of the Epicor Express deployment model is that it enables
customers to focus on their core business operations instead of
managing IT. Businesses benefit from Epicor apps in the Cloud where
ongoing software and security updates, day-to-day system
maintenance and business continuity assurance is all taken care of
for them in a shared data center, for a near zero IT overhead.
Roka Bioscience, an industry leader in molecular diagnostics, is
focused on commercializing novel nucleic acid testing methods for
industrial applications. With Epicor Express, Roka has a cost
effective ERP solution that enabled them to focus on their core
business. "Time to implement, affordability, and functional depth
including strong manufacturing and logistics capabilities, were the
key drivers in our selection of Epicor Express," said Lars
Boesgaard, Controller for Roka Bioscience. "As a start-up, we need
to focus our energy on getting our business off the ground, and the
SaaS model allows our internal resources to do just that -- with
Epicor we get the benefits of a Cloud environment with respect to
administrative overhead and cost, but we also have a system that
will allow us to run our business as it grows bigger and more
complex."
Foundation for Growth A true
differentiator from other ERP systems available today Epicor offers
a solution that spans the spectrum of business functionality (i.e.
small, midsize, and enterprise) and deployment models (i.e.
multi-tenant SaaS, hosted, and on-premise) from a single code-line,
making it the first of its type to offer business the choice and
flexibility of both on-premise and Cloud computing. Therefore, as
they evolve and grow, Epicor Express can simply scale with them or
if they elect to change to another deployment model or functional
edition they can easily make the move.
