Epicor Software Corporation, a global leader in business software solutions for manufacturing, distribution, retail and services organizations, discussed key enterprise resource planning (ERP) trends during the 2011 IDC IT Managers Forum held by market intelligence firm International Data Corporation (IDC) across various locations in the Middle East.  

At the IDC IT Managers Forum events, Anish Kanaran, regional director for Epicor MENA and Turkey delivered a speech on major trends and new technologies in the ERP space. He particularly outlined the impact of service-oriented architecture (SOA), cloud computing, embedded business intelligence in ERP, and mobile solutions, on a business’ operational efficiency and the realization of business objectives.

“As a gold sponsor of the event, Epicor affirmed its commitment to keep Middle East IT professionals abreast of growing trends in the ERP space,” said Basil Daniells, Regional Vice President for Epicor. “The Epicor next-generation ERP solution plays a key role in successfully streamlining business processes for some of the Middle East’s biggest players. To enable organizations to truly optimize ERP investments and attract new customers, we work to keep the market informed about game-changing developments in ERP.”

The 2011 IDC IT Managers Forum brought business and technology experts together to inform them about new technologies and how to become smart IT buyers in a challenging economic environment. The events ran during November and December 2011 in major Middle Eastern markets including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait. This is the third consecutive year (2009, 2010 and 2011) that Epicor has been a gold sponsor of the event across Middle East.
