Epicor has great flexibility, it is built on an Service Oriented Architecture which allows you to modify and customize it to your hearts content while still maintaining a very strong core.
The price compared to other solutions is very competitive and what you get is leaps and bounds (at least from a techs stack) compared to some of the competition.
The software is VERY MUCH alive, a lot of other ERP Systems are the same over and over again with small incremental updates that do not amount to much. Epicor is constantly evolving and adapting to changes in the market and technology.
They have an amazing talented team and they allow that team to interact directly with us (the users) on a daily basis. Good luck talking to the Architect at Oracle, or the VP of Development at SAP on an open forum.
Meet @Bart_Elia (Epicor Architect)
@Edge Epicor VP of Development/Engineering
@Olga (Epicor Developer Extraordinaire and magician)
@Rich ( Ice Tools Magician/ I don’t know his title but he is awesome too)
@aidacra (Principal Support Specialist)
@bconner (Product Owner of REST/EDD)
@Epic_Santiago ( ERP 10 Server Architect )
@JeffLeBert (King of Reports, SSRS, Task Agent and other things)
and many many more, with the above list alone Epicor is head and shoulders above the competition.
They are all here, listening and lurking as I call it, they interact with us, they listen to us and they help us when we need it.
