Redefining how Software and Computer Services companies do business
As software, Internet and computer services companies set new standards and redefine how the world does business, the ability of these organizations to manage growth and adapt to the digital economy is directly related to the flexibility and scalability of their enterprise systems. They need a solution that has the flexibility to accommodate both traditional and new ways of doing business, and can evolve along with their enterprise. Epicor eIndustry for Software and Computer Services provides the necessary tools for promising start-ups, pre-IPOs and established high-tech companies alike, to help them manage rapid growth, become more efficient and realize their business vision.
Broadbase Software is a leading provider of customer-focused analytic and marketing automation applications that analyze customer data from multiple customer touch-points. The company uses this information to execute marketing campaigns, improve online merchandising and content, increase site stickiness and personalize customer interactions. Broadbase Software selected e by Epicor to manage their financials, distribution, project planning and deferred revenue.
"We went with e by Epicor because the solution offered integrated products and functionality focused on our unique requirements," said Randall Stevens, corporate controller for Broadbase Software. "With Epicor eFinancials, eProject and eDistribution in place, we`ll be able to more successfully manage our business. And, with the insight we gain, we`ll be able to make highly informed decisions with a great deal of knowledge and confidence."

The two modules interface to provide a seamless contract renewal and revenue recognition process when used with Epicor eBackOffice Accounts Receivable and General Ledger modules, which are important features for customers in the software and computer services industry. The new Maintenance Renewal module offers customers the ability to automatically generate standard or pro-forma invoices based on contract terms and provides co-terminus support.
