ASD's decision process included the initial search, thorough interviews, extensive sales presentations, and finally, a full-day demonstration to key ASD team members and decision makers.

"Following our lengthy evaluation process, Epicor clearly stood out from all other providers. We are eager to implement Epicor's ERP solution to support our critical business needs," said Dave Rzasa, president and chief executive officer for ASD. "Epicor best addresses the needs of all business and departmental functions for ASD, and provides the best platform to support our growth and expansion."

ASD was looking for a single-source business solution platform to consolidate their information data base and improve their ability to make business decisions based on accurate and relevant information. "We chose Epicor because of its single platform fully integrated database and the ease of use with the extensive user tools that will help us work more efficiently to better serve our customers," said Rzasa.
