IBM and Epicor Software, a provider of enterprise business application for the midmarket and divisions of Global 1000 companies, joined hands to develop an enterprise solution to cater to small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) in the Mexican market.
The companies claim that “Epicor in a Box”, the ERP suite, will assist in resource-optimisation and help increasing overall productivity.
The solution includes an IBM server containing Epicor’s ERP solution, configuration & deployment service and technical support from the two companies.
Epicor and IBM also decided to offer a range of deployment options, such as, on-site or virtual deployment through an IBM storage hosting service.
Epicor and IBM plan to showcase the solution in a tour covering Mexico’s most important cities.
Alejandro Benavides, vice president of operations for Epicor Latin America, said: “We invite enterprises throughout the country to learn more about the Epicor in a Box solution and discover the multiple benefits Epicor and IBM are offering.”
Cesar Fernandez, territory manager for 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. Our commitment to innovation and integrated technology is the key to competitive differentiation, beyond any economic cycle.
Epicor provides integrated enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, supply chain management and enterprise retail software solutions.
Based on the Web 2.0 and True SOA™ concepts, Epicor claims to provide a range of services with a single point of accountability.
