Enterprise Performance Management

Epicor Enterprise Performance Management is an end-to-end solution that removes the barriers to better business insight through a combination of intuitive user experiences, user driven key performance indicators (KPI), and prepackaged analytics that have real meaning to the business. Epicor EPM leverages the advanced analytic capabilities of the Microsoft platform and incorporates modern Web 2.0 concepts for unprecedented ease of use and ultimately business results.

Trackers and Dashboards

Built directly into all Epicor applications, Epicor Dashboards permit the combination of multiple capabilities such as inquiries, ad hoc reports, workbenches, graphical analyses, tactical business intelligence, alerts and business monitoring—
all in a single dashboard. They provide a robust one-stop interface that replaces traditional menu systems with personalized role or context based views and links into core transactions of the system. In addition, they put the visual indicators and functions you use the most right at your fingertips. Tooled with unique flexibility, Dashboards enable users to develop their own workbenches using a series of online views of information such as a tracker. From a tracker, “open
with“ technology is deployed to drill into any part of
the system, whether it is to enter a new order, modify an
existing one, or update a customer record.

Operational Data Store and Data Warehousing

Your Epicor next-generation enterprise applications offer far
reaching business functionality that spans literally hundreds of
business processes, backed by an ever growing transactional
database of information. Business performance is based not
just on how these applications help run day to day processes
but by how they support greater business insight—from
historical reporting to advanced analysis. At the same time,
although your Epicor applications are optimized for transaction
processing, ad hoc inquiries and scheduling, a more advanced
solution is required for when reporting and inquiry volumes

source data from your Epicor applications and turn
it into actionable analytics.
