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 the next
release of its enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, Epicor
iScala. Designed for improved controllability, scalability and
usability, Epicor iScala 2.3 SR3 features enhanced mobility
functionality as well as three brand new modules for Project and
Contract Revenue Recognition, Advanced Credit Control, and a
Business Transaction Control Engine to improve business processes.
The release is intended for businesses that want to take advantage
of the opportunities presented by the economic recovery.
"Epicor iScala has always been one of the top ERP systems of
choice for global companies because it helps them keep costs low
while enabling them to comply with local regulations wherever they
are located," said Matt Muldoon, vice president, product marketing
for Epicor. "Through new features such as grid-based sales order
entry, integration to Epicor Mobile Field Service, box handling and
packaging, and event-based invoicing in Contract Management, this
powerful new release helps businesses become more efficient. This
results in their being able to streamline their processes and
fulfill growing demand as the economy recovers."
Global market leader WD-40 has been using Epicor iScala since
1999 and the company is planning to upgrade to the latest version
within the next couple of months. "We have already evaluated iScala
2.3 SR3 and we are looking forward to the performance improvements,
the new functionality, and support for the latest version of
Microsoft SQL," said Jonathan McCoy, IT manager for WD-40. "Our
sales team is particularly excited about the new grid-based order
entry screens because they will make it easier and faster for them
to enter orders -- helping us increase efficiencies throughout the
company. Other features that we will benefit from straight away are
the improvements in the credit check processes, and the settlement
discount localization for Spain."
Swedish-based HMS Networks is a world leading supplier of
communication technology for automation equipment. The company has
been using Epicor iScala solutions since the late 1990s and it has
performed an evaluation of iScala 2.3 SR3. "We are delighted to see
that a number of features from our wish-list have been incorporated
in this release," said Anders Törhagen, IT manager for HMS. "We are
particularly interested in the improvements in serial number
handling, the way we can enhance emails that are sent directly to
customers, and the extended possibilities with user definable
fields that will allow us to add more information such as delivery
or batch details, onto documents in line with our business
processes. Additionally, the improved functionality in Service
Connect will make it easier for us to split orders, something that
is quite challenging at the moment."
"We have been testing the latest release of Epicor iScala and
have found it to contain value-added functionality for nearly every
user in every industry," said Daina Ziraka, managing director for
viaPro, an Epicor partner in Latvia. "The two main challenges our
customers face today is the need for improved efficiencies and
being able to use technology as an innovation driver. With the
latest release, Epicor iScala delivers on both aspects. The
integration with Epicor Mobile Field Service gives customers
extended mobility functionality as a standard option, benefitting
companies today who use mobile technology as a driver for improved
customer service. The decision support enhancements and the
continual support for ever-changing local regulations will help
businesses not only keep up with changing legislation, but also
give them tools to control operations and create further
efficiencies throughout their business cycles."
Ziraka continued, "Additionally, a special bonus for
manufacturing companies is that they will receive immediate value
from the disassembly and repair processes, allowing unified
processes across production units and eliminating the complexity of
handling production functions across multiple iScala
instances."
Brand New Functionality The Revenue
Recognition module is specifically built for customers that use
Contract and Project Management modules, and it is designed to
determine the conditions under which revenues and expenses are
recognized. Advanced Credit Control introduces several enhancements
to the iScala credit control capabilities. It supports the
introduction of a new set of features that allows organizations to
define a credit authorization/approval matrix consisting of up to
10 user-defined credit limit overrides. Each credit limit override
is matched to a specific user permission. The credit overrides
allow authorized users to release credit-stopped order lines for
delivery.
The Business Transaction Control Engine (BTCE) sees the
introduction of a new feature set that allows customers to control
specific business transactions or business events for the sales,
purchase and service management processes. For example, extended
support for advanced License Control (LC) will allow companies to
control what, when, why, how much, from/to whom specific products
or raw materials can or cannot be purchased or sold.
Muldoon concluded, "The latest Epicor iScala release continues
to give global businesses powerful support in areas such as
disassembly and repair manufacturing processes, as well as
extensive country specific functionality. The latest release also
offers expanded transaction capacity for higher volumes, printing
from snap search, and pre-packaged content for Epicor enterprise
performance management (EPM) to help our customers run leading edge
businesses."
