IRVINE, Calif.- April 08, 2008

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 it has been recognized by Everything Channel's VARBusiness magazine as one of North America’s top information-technology (IT) vendors for its Epicor Partners for Growth Program.

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. The six categories are: sales support, marketing support, partner profitability, channel operations, partner recruitment and communications.



The Epicor Partners for Growth program provides a solid foundation for partners committed to excellence and customer satisfaction. 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.

“We are honored to receive the coveted Gold 5-Star rating for the Epicor Partners for Growth Program,” said Tom Kelly, president and CEO of Epicor. “The award is a testament to our commitment to build strong collaborative relationships that offer our partners significant growth opportunities. We view our channel partners as an extension of the Epicor team, and thank them for their contribution to our continued success in delivering innovative global enterprise solutions that empower our joint customers to achieve greater business success.”

“We’ve partnered with Epicor since 2005, and are thrilled to see its program receive this honor from VARBusiness magazine,” said Jeff Maddox, president of Vision Business Solutions. “We truly feel like a part of the Epicor team, with the ability to leverage Epicor resources in sales, marketing, technical services, training, implementation and support to deliver the ultimate value to our joint customers.”

More than 300 value-added resellers and authorized consultants participate in the Epicor Partners for Growth Program worldwide.
