Epicor Software Corp. has introduced a set of new features and functions for its venerable Vantage ERP product that more than doubles the number of concurrent users that can be supported by the software.

In an announcement at National Manufacturing Week in Chicago yesterday, Epicor said that Vantage, designed for make-to-order and mixed-mode manufacturers and distributors, can now handle as many as 2,000 concurrent users, compared with about 1,000 before the enhancements.

Rodney E. Winger, senior director of product marketing, manufacturing and supply chain management at Epicor, said that tests are showing that the software can scale even beyond the 2,000 level. "We did a lab test with Microsoft at the 3,000 level," he said in an interview with Managing Automation. "We will be doing another test at the 6,000-concurrent-user level in October."
