Epicor Software Corp., in a bid to increase use of Web-based portals among its ERP customers while, at the same time, make more efficient use of its own development resources, today said it will replace its existing portal products with a single portal based on Microsoft Corp.'s SharePoint technologies. The new portal product, dubbed Epicor Portal 8.2, will become the common portal offering for Epicor's ERP product line -- Enterprise, Vantage/Vista and iScala --when it becomes generally available in the fourth quarter of this year. Epicor, however, will continue to support internally-developed portal products currently available for its various enterprise application suites, according to Scott Smith, senior manager of product marketing at Epicor. Like its current portal products, Epicor Portal 8.2 will require customers to pay an additional software license. The new Microsoft-based portal will replace a collection of different portal products the company had developed for its ERP product lines. For example, Epicor currently sells several Web-based access products for its Vantage line: Customer Connect, Sales Connect and Buyer Connect. The company sells a separate product, Enterprise Information Portal, for its Enterprise ERP suite. A true portal add-on is not currently available for Epicor's iScala product line.
