It was important UMC understand the full potential of Epicor ERP to meet ISO and ASO data requirements.

"Epicor University provided our company with resources and tools to help us realize the greatest benefit from our Epicor ERP software investment," said Don Tomann, CEO of UMC. "Combining our knowledge with the knowledge of the experts from Epicor University empowered individual employees to learn in the way they learn best."

Epicor University provides customers with resources and tools to help them realize the greatest benefit from their enterprise software investment. UMC leveraged all aspects of the training available to them through Epicor University including virtual and onsite education sessions. Through Epicor University, UMC is able to focus on specific customers and product cycles to access all of the data in a timely manner. By having access to this real-time data, UMC executive leadership can make better business decisions and operate the company in the most efficient manner.
