Representatives of Epicor Software Corporation have announced the introduction of Epicor Information Worker, a new desktop productivity solution for Epicor’s enterprise resource planning applications on the 2007 Microsoft Office system. The product was unveiled this week to attendees at Epicor Perspectives 2006, the company’s annual customer conference.

Built using service-oriented architecture principles with Microsoft .NET-based technologies, Epicor IW users are promised the ability to synchronize Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 contacts, appointments and tasks with an Epicor application along with items such as customer information, sales history, inventory levels and production schedule for offline access.

At the heart of the product, said Epicor vice president of marketing is the company’s goal, and "Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for our mutual customers to use the information captured within Epicor applications effectively."
