Market Leading Manufacturer to the Food Processing Industry to Implement Epicor to Gain Manufacturing Efficiencies Epicor Software Corporation today announced that Baker Perkins, the market leading manufacturer of technology to the food processing industry, has chosen Epicor 9, the next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution from Epicor. Baker Perkins selected Epicor after a thorough evaluation process of multiple vendors that involved several presentations, demonstrations and reference visits. The company currently runs several disparate systems to manage its business processes, including an incumbent manufacturing system that doesn't fully support its scheduling processes. Throughout the world, shop and supermarket shelves are stacked with foods made on equipment supplied by Baker Perkins. In the bakery, biscuit, confectionery, snack and breakfast cereal sectors, many of the world's leading brands rely on technology supplied by Baker Perkins. This independent company operates from two sites in the UK and the US. To help them better expedite their manufacturing schedules, gain more detailed analysis across their two sites, and integrate their system across functions to reduce data re-entry, Baker Perkins has chosen to implement Epicor ERP. Bob Collin, project manager for Baker Perkins, explains, “We chose Epicor because it was felt to be more project-oriented than other products and this is extremely important to us because capital manufacturing projects form the basis of our business. Epicor will help us move away from our current disparate structure with different parts of the business using different software systems, to a situation where we all access data from a single source." Some of the major criteria that Baker Perkins used throughout the vendor evaluation process included how well the system could handle scheduling, particularly in the factory and to expedite purchase orders, the availability of real-time information, the opportunity to refine and improve business processes across the business in the US and the UK, as well as the ability to reduce data re-entry and enable staff from various areas of the business to query the same data. "It is very difficult to select a complex solution based on just limited overviews by the vendors," said Collin. "We therefore decided to go through a detailed selection process, starting with forming a cross-functional team, building a user requirement specification document, going through demonstrations with vendors using our own data, as well as doing several reference visits to see the short listed systems in action. Epicor gave us the confidence that they will be able to deliver the requirements we need in order to streamline our business and gain measurable efficiencies." "We are delighted to see yet another market leading manufacturer choose to implement Epicor 9, providing further evidence of its attractiveness and value to industry worldwide," said James Norwood, vice president of product marketing for Epicor.

PHILADELPHIA, 05 Novmeber 2009 – ERT, a leading provider of ePRO, centralized ECG and other services to the biopharmaceutical, medical device and related industries, has won a prestigious award at the 2009 European Outsourcing Awards (EOA) ceremony, held in Madrid on 14 October. ERT were honoured with the award for Best New Product for its innovative electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO) based suicidality monitoring solution, affirming its market leading position within the ePRO community. The EOA Awards are designed to recognize new and significant developments in contract services and reward successful companies for their outstanding contributions throughout the year. ERT was crowned winner of the Best New Product category over four strong competitors. The panel of EOA judges was impressed with the innovation shown by ERT in the development of its suicidality monitoring solution. ERT’s solution overcomes many of the challenges associated with monitoring suicidal tendencies during clinical trials and significantly improves patient safety throughout the clinical trial lifecycle. Recent FDA comment has guided the clinical trials industry to require that prospective suicidality tendencies should be monitored in every Phase II – IV clinical study, in every protocol and at every visit across all therapeutic areas. Suicidality monitoring is just one solution from ERT’s ePRO product portfolio and is used to improve patient safety during clinical trials. Uniquely the solution provides clinicians with a response system that assures swift reaction to suicide concerns. Certain patient-reported answers trigger alerts to multiple parties including sites, clinical research associates, contract research organizations and is monitored by a pair of call centers that maintain contact with the patient until the responsible investigator is reached and the patient is successfully contacted. This process is initiated before the patient is even finished with the questionnaire. More in-depth clinical follow-up and evaluation are ensured, resulting in maximum patient safety. Michael McKelvey, President and CEO of ERT, said: “We are delighted to receive this award which recognizes the considerable efforts of our talented team and the exceptional caliber of the nominees across all categories. ERT understands the scientific and regulatory issues associated with clinical trials, and this award reflects our desire to be a collaborative partner that is both dependable and flexible.” ERT was also awarded a runner-up prize in the best eBusiness category for My Study Portal - an easy-to-use web-based portal which provides users with secure 24/7 access to a centralized environment to view and manage vital data from anywhere in the world. My Study Portal is an industry-leading, 21 CFR Part 11-compliant, clinical trial portal used by sponsors to drive smarter decision making based on real-time data reporting.
