Local value-added reseller of Epicor, New Era Solutions, is proud to announce locally that the international software vendor has been selected by the editors of Start Magazine as one of the `Hottest Companies of 2004`.
Says Scott McKenzie, managing director of New Era Solutions: "The award is highly coveted internationally and more than 100 companies vie for this prestigious title. As local developers and integrators of the Epicor product, we are incredibly proud of this achievement and believe it is a true testimony to the technological breadth of the Epicor suite."
The award, hosted annually by Start magazine, is now in its seventh year, and is presented to companies that excel in the provision of advanced and innovative technology solutions to those in the manufacturing field, with emphasis on cutting costs and driving efficiency through the product delivery. Epicor has over 6 500 manufacturing customers worldwide.
"We`re pleased to recognise Epicor for its achievements in delivering innovative technology solutions to the manufacturing industry," says Peggy Smedley, editorial director at Start magazine. "Epicor`s impressive adoption of Web services and a service-oriented architecture in the development of its enterprise solutions demonstrates the company`s leadership status in the mid-market. Epicor continues to help manufacturers leverage technology to improve the efficiency of business processes, while extending the value of existing technology investments."
Epicor has been seen as a pioneer in the adoption of a number of new technologies, such as Web services and Microsoft .Net. This has ensured not only that the company remains a leader in staying ahead of international trends but also that its technology remains superior in many respects to that of its competitors.
"The receiving of this award for the third year in a row only proves to us at New Era that we are backing a winner. But it is not just about receiving awards, it is about delivering on the promise one attaches to a product and the technology that makes it tick. Epicor does all of these things and more," adds McKenzie.
With the recent acquisition by Epicor of Scala Business Solutions being complete, the company is officially the largest independent mid-market provider of collaborative ERP, CRM and SCM applications based on Microsoft`s .NET platform and Web services. The ultimate vision of the company is to provide superior technology solutions that fit your business and your pocket.
"We`re proud to be honoured as one of the `Hottest Companies of 2004` by the editors of Start magazine," says George Klaus, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Epicor. "Earning this recognition three years running is testament to our constant commitment to deliver real world business solutions to global manufacturers. We`re proud to continue helping manufacturers around the world meet their business objectives and achieve faster return on investment through innovative technology."
