Epicor Software Corporation today announced a comprehensive transition program that will enable users of Epicor Ultimate business management software to transition to a UniVerse or UniData™ (U2) database platform. This process will enable Epicor Ultimate software users to upgrade their businesses to faster, more efficient hardware and access an array of additional system capabilities while providing a longer term migration path to a modern, feature-rich business solution.

“We have many longtime Epicor Ultimate users within the automotive aftermarket who have developed custom applications and other features that are currently dependent on the legacy Ult-Plus database,” said Scott Thompson, vice president, automotive, retail distribution solutions for Epicor. “We have put resources into place to help these users convert to a U2 database platform so they can move to an IBM and/or Intel-based technology pack without disrupting their business operations.”

The transition to a modern database platform will enable users to more easily integrate a variety of the latest Epicor applications, including the popular Epicor LaserCat 3 electronic catalog interface, Epicor PartExpert eCatalog suite and the Epicor Parts Network eCommerce solutions. The user’s technology investment can also be better protected through an open migration path to a next generation solution that utilizes a U2 database platform.

Epicor support professionals will work closely with Epicor Ultimate users to complete the database transition without interruption to business operations. “Our customers and their employees should enjoy a virtually seamless transition to the new database architecture, with no expected changes to their existing applications,” Thompson said.
