As AI increasingly permeates every aspect of enterprise operations, the demand for an ERP solution extends beyond being intelligent and fast—it must also deeply understand the industry and the end users. With over 50 years of experience supporting manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, Epicor officially launched Epicor Prism this past January—a next-generation ERP platform that introduces a new approach to data utilization and business decision-making across the supply chain industry.
