Epicor Software Corporation, a leading provider of integrated enterprise software solutions for the midmarket, has announced it was named the 2005 "Fastest Growing Partner" by Progress Software Corporation, a global supplier of application infrastructure software used to develop, deploy, integrate and manage business applications.

Progress Application Partners (APs) like Epicor were recognised for their innovative work using Progress OpenEdge technology at the company's recent North American AP Kick-off in Marco Island, Florida.

Epicor was one of six award honourees selected from over 840 Progress partners eligible for the awards.

Progress honored partners for their focus on high-value market initiatives, and joint efforts to deliver superior business value to customers.

This is the fourth consecutive year that Epicor has received an award from Progress for demonstrated success and ability to stay ahead of industry demands using the latest Progress technology.

"Epicor is one of the dominant providers of best-of-breed products in the manufacturing industry".

"The company continues to embrace cutting-edge technologies in order to deliver to its customers the most competitive manufacturing solutions available," said Justin Wright, vice president of worldwide operations, Progress Corporation.

"We are pleased to recognise Epicor for its innovative use of the OpenEdge Platform and Sonic Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) in their service-oriented architecture (SOA) strategy." Epicor exploits both the Progress OpenEdge and Microsoft .NET platforms in its Vantage 8.0 and Vista 8.0 manufacturing solutions, which are both based on a 100-percent service-oriented architecture and optimised for high performance and collaboration across the globally expanding supply chain.

"We're thrilled to once again be acknowledged by Progress for our accomplishments in delivering innovative, industry leading enterprise solutions to our customers," said George Klaus, chairman and CEO of Epicor.

"The 'Fastest Growing Partner' award is especially validating, as we continue to achieve solid growth and expand our presence delivering truly global solutions to midmarket manufacturers that provide a low total cost of ownership.".
