Epicor was certified as a Gold 5-Star Overall Winner in the VARBusiness 2008 Partner Program Guide (PPG), which acknowledges the commitment and strength of a vendor's partner programs for its Channel resellers, IT integrators, and technology consultants. Of the hundreds of vendor program entries reviewed for this year’s guide, in addition to earning the Gold 5-Star award for its overall program, Epicor was one of the coveted few programs to win Silver 5-Star awards in all six of the categories against which programs are reviewed and measured.

Epicor provides a comprehensive sales, marketing and support program that offers its channel partners significant opportunities to grow their businesses in key industries — manufacturing, distribution, retail, hospitality and professional services — backed by Epicor’s award-winning solutions, support and services.

“The quality of a vendor's partner program reflects the true commitment they have to the thriving Solution Provider Channel, and this year’s 5-Star Partner Programs Guide winners are the cream of the crop of Channel-friendly vendors," said Robert C. DeMarzo, senior vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel.
