Epicor Customer Symetrics Wins Progressive Manufacturing 100 Award

Epicor`s Latest ERP Solution is the Foundation of Symetrics` Modernization
Initiative, Increasing Productivity and Enterprise Visibility

IRVINE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of enterprise
business software solutions for the midmarket and divisions of Global 1000
companies, today announced that its customer, Symetrics Industries, LLC, is a
winner of the 2009 Progressive Manufacturing 100 (PM100) Awards, presented by
Managing Automation Media, a Thomas Publishing Company, LLC publication.

Symetrics was named to the PM100 for its Manufacturing Systems Modernization
Initiative, the company`s multi-year project comprising deployment of new
manufacturing systems to automate and streamline operations, and improve data
flow throughout the organization.

The foundation of Symetrics` modernization initiative is Epicor`s most recent
award-winning enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, Epicor 9, which
provides Symetrics with support for manufacturing processes from proposal to
delivery, including invoicing/collection, HR and payroll. Epicor has helped
Symetrics streamline operations, improve cycle time and reduce errors, while
improving the company`s on-time delivery record with best-in-class
responsiveness, flexibility and dependability.

"Our Epicor system brings together information from all aspects of our business
to provide `one version of the truth,` via one set of data," said Peter Volkert,
director, Information Systems for Symetrics. "This greatly reduces and
eliminates errors of the past caused by our use of disparate systems with
different information on different spreadsheets throughout different
departments. Every user on the Epicor system-from shop floor to top floor-now
has the ability to see exactly where the product is in each stage of production.
Better information and more consistent information equal fewer mistakes and less
wasted time, money, and material."

"Today manufacturers require decision support in real time, and they want it
deployed in the tools they already use, day in and day out," said James Norwood,
vice president of product marketing for Epicor. "As demonstrated by Symetrics`
implementation, Epicor takes business management and control to the next level
by extending reach, synergy and visibility to the organization. As the first
customer to go live on our innovative next-generation ERP platform, Symetrics is
most deserving of this industry recognition as a progressive manufacturer
leveraging technology to achieve outstanding business results."

David R. Broussell, editor-in-chief of Managing Automation Media, commented, "In
the face of one of the worst economic downturns in history, these winning
companies dramatically underscore how the manufacturing industry will not only
get through this period, but emerge in an even stronger position once a recovery
takes hold. The projects that enabled these companies to become PM100 winners
reflect great creativity and inventiveness, a determined willingness to take
risk, and an enduring resilience to continually improve every aspect of their
business. These companies are leading the way to a better future for all
industry."

Judged by an independent panel of publication management, industry analysts,
industry executive and past winning companies, the PM100 recognizes 100 projects
that have achieved distinction in at least one of the eight core disciplines
critical to business success in the years ahead. Symetrics and the other PM100
winners will be honored and presented with their awards at the Progressive
Manufacturing Awards Gala to be held on the last day of the Progressive
Manufacturing Summit 2009: Redefining the Business of Manufacturing in Turbulent
Economic Times, June 9-11, at the Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota, Fla.
