Re: Epicor: Leverage is NOT a Verb!

Seven uses of leverage in Epicor's seven paragraph blurb is surely a world
record!



Unless, of course, someone can leverage a better example...





Epicor's early adoption of the Microsoft(r) .NET Framework and XML Web
services allows its product offerings, development and services to leverage
the benefits of SOA and provide growing midsized businesses with increased
flexibility, inter-operability, and cross-platform capability. These
capabilities are extremely important as the market for Enterprise
Applications continues to grow worldwide.



The Company's Clientele suite leverages both the Microsoft Access and
Microsoft SQL Server databases.



The Company's technology direction currently embraces the Microsoft .NET
Framework for XML-based Web services, networking architecture, and
graphical
user interface components. Through the .NET Framework, the Company provides
comprehensive support for Web services deployment and Enterprise
Application
Integration (EAI). Leveraging the .NET Framework and the XML standard for
data exchange, Epicor provides increased access to information both within
and between organizations - no matter where their offices or employees are
located. This technology strategy can enable the Company's development
teams
to leverage Microsoft technology, while allowing each product family to
continue to utilize the individual databases and development tools
appropriate to the requirements of each product's target market. As a long
standing Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and an early adopter of the .NET
Framework, and most recently Windows Vista(r), Epicor is able to leverage
its expertise with Microsoft technology to benefit their customers
worldwide.



If the emerging and current technologies and platforms of Microsoft and
others upon which the Company builds its products do not gain or retain
broad market acceptance, or if we fail to develop and introduce in a timely
manner new products and services compatible with such emerging
technologies,
we may not be able to compete effectively and our ability to generate
revenues will suffer.



Specifically, the Company's software products are built and depend upon
several underlying and evolving relational database management system
platforms including Microsoft SQL Server, Progress OpenEdge and IBM U2, and
also are integrated with several other third party provider products for
the
purpose of providing or enhancing necessary functionality.



CRS applications leverage Microsoft(r) and Java technologies.



As a long standing Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and an early adopter of
the .NET Framework, and most recently Windows Vista(r), Epicor is able to
leverage its expertise with Microsoft technology to benefit their customers
worldwide.
