Epicor Software Corp, a leading provider of integrated enterprise and eBusiness software exclusively for midmarket companies, today announced that Ballantyne of Omaha has selected Vantage, Epicor`s eManufacturing solution, to automate all of its business processes.
Ballantyne of Omaha, Inc. is an aggressive, growth-oriented company that is comprised of a team of leading firms in the entertainment equipment industry including Strong Spotlights, Simplex and Century Projectors, Xenotech and Sky-Tracker. With over $86 million in sales for 1999 this dynamic company faced the challenge of automating processes to improve efficiency. It`s goal was to eliminate repetitive, tedious tasks and increase job satisfaction among its employees. Ballantyne standardized on Epicor to reduce paperwork, share knowledge, and gain a more holistic view of company operations.
"We view Epicor`s Vantage as a catalyst for creating new business processes, new disciplines and better business performance," said Brad French, chief financial officer of Ballantyne of Omaha. "We chose Epicor because the company had the ability to not only supply the right software, but also had the service resources to ensure a flawless installation. The software was also the most cost effective solution we looked at."
By deploying Vantage, Ballantyne hopes to significantly reduce its 6-8 week delivery cycle significantly. This in turn will increase customer satisfaction, while reducing costs for the company. Ballantyne expects to complete the Vantage implementation in February 2001.
"Ballantyne exemplifies the way in which a large midmarket manufacturer can improve its business performance using Epicor`s eManufacturing solution, Vantage," said Mollie Hunter, vice president of product marketing for Epicor. "Large midmarket manufacturers need software that allows companies to automate on their own terms and streamline operations while maintaining best practices. Using our products, Ballantyne`s employees will now have information at their fingertips to make decisions on the spot and give customers information about product delivery immediately."
