Epicor® Chief Executive Earns Industry’s Highest Rankings
IRVINE, Calif., March 19, 2007 — START-IT magazine and Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine have named George Klaus, chairman and chief executive officer of Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), to their 2007 prestigious rankings of industry innovators. As head executive of Epicor, a leading provider of enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and divisions of the Global 1000, Klaus’ accomplishments have earned him a spot on START-IT’s CEO Visionaries and Supply & Demand Chain Executive’s “Pros to Know” listings.
Part of an elite group of ten CEO Visionaries, Klaus was selected by a panel of editors from nominations submitted by customers for “having a vision for the future” and “finding great success in the SMB market.”
John Buell, editor-in-chief of START-IT, writes in his coverage of the CEO Visionaries, “Each of the [CEO’s] honored… have a vision for the future and a desire to improve their company’s bottomline. START-IT would like to congratulate them all for setting such high standards for themselves and their companies.” Buell continued, “Each brings with them a passion for their respective industries and one common goal in mind: to give of themselves 100% to serve their customers and lead their employees by example.”
For the Supply & Demand Chain Executive Pros to Know listing, a selection committee comprised of Editorial and Advisory Board members culled through scores of nominations to find the applicants that best fit the criteria, such as how the nominee has personally helped raise the profile of Supply Chain and increased the recognition of the importance of Supply Chain as a strategic function within the enterprise; and their opinion of technology’s role is in enabling Supply Chain to achieve a more strategic role within the enterprise.
“This year’s Provider Pros to Know have shown themselves to be thought-leaders in their respective supply chain segments,” said Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “Their efforts in developing the tools and processes necessary for supply chain transformation, and in promoting new approaches to supply chain enablement, are helping raise Supply Chain’s status within the enterprise, earning them a place on this year’s Provider Pros listing.”
“Today’s global manufacturers and distributors demand solutions that enable them to run efficient operations chains and meet businesses challenges head-on,” said Klaus. “Epicor is meeting these requirements by delivering next-generation technologies that help today’s companies optimize their operations. Every Epicor employee has contributed to our success and it is an honor to be recognized by START-IT and Supply & Demand Chain Executive for our accomplishments in this area.”
Klaus is featured in the cover story, “Having A Vision for the Future,” of START-IT’s Winter issue and in the March 2007 article, “2007 Pros to Know: Honoring supply chain leaders driving strategic transformation,” of Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine.
