IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - 03/28/11) - Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ:EPIC - News), a leading provider of enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that the Company has been named to CRN's 2011 Partner Programs Guide, and has also been awarded a 5-Star Partner rating. CRN's Partner Programs Guide and 5-Star rating serves as the definitive list of vendors who have robust partner programs or products that service solution providers offer directly to the IT channel. The annual list recognizes the vendors who offer solution providers the best possible partnering elements for channel success.

"We are honored that Epicor's Partners for Growth program is recognized as a 2011 5-Star Partner Programs Guide winner by CRN," said George Klaus, chairman, president and CEO of Epicor.

Epicor provides the best tools and services to enable its partners to win more business with industry-leading business software solutions, increase profitability with margins created to increase bottom line, and improve professional services revenue utilizing Epicor's proven Signature Implementation Methodology and customization tools.

"The companies listed on the 2011 Partner Programs Guide represent the best channel programs in the market today. Of those, only a few get our five-star award, based on their commitment to the channel, breadth of program offerings and services offered to their partners. Each of these organizations understands that technology alone does not make for a successful channel program. By focusing on delivering a comprehensive partner program, vendors and solution providers can work together to drive business opportunities and revenue," said Kelley Damore, vice president and editorial director, for Everything Channel's CRN.
