EPICOR Software Corporation, a global leader in business software solutions for manufacturing, distribution, retail and services organisations, hosted the Dubai chapter of the annual Epicor EMEA Insights 2014 customer conference at the Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi.

Other conferences were held in Stockholm, Sweden; Frankfurt, Germany; and Kenilworth, UK. The regional conference follows on from the company’s global user conference and showcases new products with best practices and strategies for the future.

The highlights of EMEA Insights 2014 were demonstrations of the newly-launched Epicor ERP version 10. Now built entirely on agile Microsoft technology, ERP version 10 boasts dramatic improvements in performance and scalability. The latest version is based on five principles of collaboration, choice, responsiveness, simplicity and mobility to support today’s business requirements. The conferences addressed key topics such as how to reduce costs and increase ROI and deal with compliance issues.

“By hosting EMEA Insights 2014, Epicor offers its customers a vast platform to network with its experts and partners to learn more about our product strategy and the latest software solutions,” said Keith Deane, executive vice president and general manager for Epicor international. He said the Insights series was also an opportunity to interact with other customers from similar industries to learn how Epicor solutions can be leveraged to overcome business challenges.

This time Epicor lined up  more sessions than at previous events, extensive hands-on labs and solutions pavilions and an elite line-up of key speakers.
