"We are absolutely delighted that Speakerbus have chosen us as the supplier of their new ERP system," commented Derek Sanderson, managing director of Force 9.
"Since SSA Global announced in 2005 that it would no longer be developing the MAX ERP solution, we decided to look at viable migration options for existing users and we are thrilled that Speakerbus have endorsed our view that Epicor's Vantage is the natural replacement system".
"Force 9 looked at a considerable number of alternative vendors and products to find one that offered the 'best fit' for the MAX user community," said Mark Fielden, who runs the MAX User Group.
"By choosing Vantage, and its subsequent adoption by Speakerbus, they have demonstrated a clear alternative migration path for MAX users".
"We are delighted with the selection of Force 9 and Epicor's Vantage business solution by Speakerbus," said Harry Mowat, Director, Channel Sales for Epicor in EMEA.
"We chose to work with Force 9 because of their skills and comprehensive knowledge of the MAX ERP software".
"As part of the Force 9 team, we believe we can help their customers, and others within the MAX user community, transition to Vantage, an ERP solution which delivers a true service-oriented architecture (SOA) suited to manufacturing operations of all types".
Manufacturers around the world rely on Vantage, a complete end-to-end manufacturing system that addresses the core business needs of make-to-order and mixed-mode manufacturers.
