There are a few Epicor people that do read this list. They just tend to lay low unless the discussion effects them directly. I can say a that there are a few people still in the Manage-2000 group that are very good with the interfaces to U2. >From my past experience with Epicor, they are a very good company for support, and regardless of how many developers you have, there will always be bugs in the software that require patches. Many times these bugs are not evident due to the fact that everyone will use the software slightly different. I think their long term plan is to take the many packages they have and migrate them all into one package that is all inclusive and database independent. Although making it database independent may be counter productive to their plan on consolidating the software packages.
If you look at who the other choices are for software, I'd say Epicor is still one of the top choices. Especially when you consider the flexibility needed in dealing in a manufacturing environment. What are your other choices? JD Edwards? SAP? They are also trying to focus on integrating all of their other packages together into a complete solution. Kind of like cross selling. If you run ERP and want CRM then they want to integrate the 2. They have many initiatives that are good ideas, in my humble opinion, but it will take them years to make it work.

That tells me they have little to no interest in U2 which is a red flag in my book. Certainly implies that they don't have knowledgeable or extensive support for how Epicor interfaces or doesn't with U2 in general.
