Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ:EPIC), a leading provider of
enterprise business software solutions to the midmarket and Global 1000
companies, today announced the general availability of Epicor
iScala 2.3 SR2, one of the broadest releases in the history of the
Epicor iScala product line. Designed for global business, this release
features the extended functionality organizations need today in order to
weather the current economic downturn, while preparing to take advantage
of the return to market recovery and growth.
"The new release focuses on providing a robust platform for growth
through business agility while driving down cost to help companies cope
with regular changes in local business requirements," said Adam Prince,
senior director product marketing for Epicor. "We consulted closely with
our existing customers during the development process to ensure that the
scope of what we're delivering today removes several barriers to their
business growth by helping eliminate non value-add activities and
improving support for better cost management, but without jeopardizing
customer service."
Global materials handling company Atlet has been an Epicor iScala user
for more than ten years and is a beta customer for the latest release.
"We are especially looking forward to the improvements within the
service order management processes as these are critical to our
business," said Lewis Yates, project manager for Atlet. "There are also
a range of smaller improvements such as the invoicing history in
contract management, and the handling of e-mail invoices, that will be
very useful to us. Over the years we have seen continued enhancements to
the product and we are delighted with Epicor's customer oriented
attitude that enables them to deliver what we as customers need to run
our businesses effectively."
Business Improvements
Focused on improving scalability and agility, as well as turning support
for governance into effective business analytics, the new release

managed manner, with demonstrable return on investment.
Business Agility - The ability to rapidly change and
reconfigure business processes to help businesses stay agile,
