global provider of industry-specific
enterprise software to promote
business growth, has announced the
availability of a new Total Economic
Impact™ (TEI) study that examines the
potential return on investment (ROI)
companies can achieve with the Epicor

suite. The August 2017 commissioned
study, conducted by Forrester Consulting
on behalf of Epicor, is titled, The
Total Economic Impact™ of Epicor
ERP: Driving Efficiency, Customer
Responsiveness, and Cost Savings
Through Epicor ERP.
The study is based on detailed
interviews conducted with a number
of Epicor customers. Their combined
attributes and experiences form a
composite organisation from which
Forrester developed a framework to
measure the potential financial impact
and investment return of Epicor ERP to
an organisation.
Based on the analysis, Epicor ERP
enabled the composite organisation to
achieve risk-adjusted inventory savings
of $4.4 million, with a risk-adjusted
ROI of 264% and a payback period
