Epicor in a Box is an IBM server loaded with Epicor's enterprise resource planning and configuration and deployment software. Both companies will provide technical support.

Cesar Fernandez, territory manager at IBM Mexico, said: "IBM identifies in the alliance with Epicor a clear reference that encourages Mexican companies to take proactive decisions to challenge the current economic climate, drawing on the benefits of the use of information technology."

Last year the companies formed a partnership to provide an integrated retail-management product to centrally manage and support point-of-sale hardware and software.
