Epicor Software Corp., the largest provider of integrated enterprise and eBusiness software exclusively for midmarket companies, today announced that it has been selected by Accounting Software News and K2 Enterprises as the top-ranked manufacturing solution for the beginning enterprise market, defined as companies with revenues of $50 million to $1 billion. Epicor was selected over 11 other companies to become the most favored product offering. Five Epicor solutions, including Epicor eFinancials, Vantage, Vista, Impresa and Avant'e will be featured on the Accounting Software News Web site at www.accountingsoftwarenews.com.
Large midmarket companies need strong financial reporting capabilities, diverse manufacturing features, and the ability to support a wide customer base and product customization capabilities. Accounting Software News and K2 Enterprises evaluated the availability of these features and also considered additional criteria, including the availability of a breadth of third-party add-on products as well as a comprehensive offering of product modules. Epicor`s eFinancials, Vantage, Vista, Impresa and Avant'e products fulfilled all of these business requirements and also ranked as the most stable with the fewest bugs and occurrences of crashes.
"Through the annual surveying of enterprise software users, we have found that the traditional enterprise solutions vendors have over-promised and under-delivered both in regards to product and consulting," said J. Carlton Collins, partner of K2 Enterprises and editor of Accounting Software News. "Based on customer feedback, we have found that users of Epicor`s software were the most satisfied, and they consistently reported on the stability and high performance of its products."
K2 Enterprises and Accounting Software News surveyed over 5,000 controllers, CFOs and financial professionals attending their accounting and enterprise business solution lectures to determine the final rankings. Based on the belief that customer satisfaction levels are the best indicator of product excellence, these rankings rely primarily on customer feedback.
"Epicor`s number one ranking reaffirms our belief that customer satisfaction should be the driving force behind our product development and professional services offerings," said John Hiraoka, senior vice president of marketing for Epicor. "Epicor has always been committed exclusively to the needs of midmarket companies. We value our customers` feedback and will continue to design our software and services with their needs in mind."
