EPIC Epicor Software Corp. (MM)

Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that Epicor Chairman, President and CEO George Klaus has been named a 2010 Channel Chief by the Everything Channel's CRN magazine. Channel Chiefs are leaders in creating effective channel programs for solution providers as they consistently defend, promote and execute effective channel partner programs and strategies.

"I am honored to be named a 2010 Channel Chief," said Klaus. "Epicor is proud to work closely with our global channel partners to deliver unmatched value to our customers worldwide. With the extension of our three-tiered channel partner incentive program and the exceptional momentum our next-generation solution Epicor 9 is achieving in the market place, Epicor continues to deliver significant opportunities for our channel partners to grow their businesses in today's highly competitive, dynamic marketplace."

Epicor channel partners have increased revenue contributions by more than 80% over the past 4 years; through an industry-specific approach in 2010, Epicor will continue to work on expanding the channel footprint and revenue contribution.

Building on the success of Epicor's three-tiered channel partner incentive program launched in the Americas in 2008, Epicor has extended its incentive program to Professional Services. Epicor's Professional Services Incentive Program rewards its partners focused on implementing new business solutions, and supporting and servicing their Epicor customer base. Furthermore, customer adoption of Epicor 9 continues to be a huge success for the company, with shipments to more than 1,000 customers and partners worldwide, approximately 120 customers running their businesses on Epicor's latest enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution and over 34,000 user seats shipped worldwide. Manufacturers, distributors, financial institutions, service firms and retailers worldwide have selected Epicor 9 for its ease of use, ability to adapt to business and industry-specific requirements, and ultimately for the fact it can easily scale as an organization expands or changes. With the right solutions, advanced technology, a clear market strategy and a global footprint, Epicor is well positioned for continued growth.

"Being named a Channel Chief is one of the most prestigious honors in the IT industry. This year's Channel Chiefs offers tremendous insight into the who's who of the Channel," said Kelley Damore, vice president, editorial director for Everything Channel. "Top channel executives consistently ensure that the Channel's voice is heard when strategic decisions are being made and continually nurture mutually profitable relationships. We applaud the 2010 Channel Chiefs for their successful partner programs and strategies."

For the eighth consecutive year, the Channel Chiefs were chosen based by Everything Channel editorial on criteria including policy and program innovations made during the past year, the amount of revenue their company generates through partners, their willingness to speak out publicly on behalf of the channel, and the number of years they have dedicated to channel activities.
