Epicor Software Corporation (http://www.epicor.com/) (NASDAQ: EPIC), a
leading provider of enterprise business software solutions for the
midmarket and divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that
Novus Biologicals (http://www.novusbio.com/) , a leading manufacturer
of high-quality biological products used to facilitate and accelerate
scientific research in the bioscience community, has selected the
Epicor 9 next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution.
Epicor provides Novus Biologicals with powerful functionality that
will help facilitate future profitable business growth.

Headquartered in Littleton, Colorado with operations in Cambridge, UK,
Novus Biologicals carries more than 170,000 products and makes them
widely available to bioscience researchers around the world. Prior to
selecting Epicor, Novus Biologicals relied on a legacy information
system; however, the company reached a point where they were becoming
inefficient in their daily work processes, necessitating the hiring of
additional employees to handle the double-entry work required to
synchronize information in the system. Epicor ERP was selected to
deliver seamless front-to-back office integration so information
entered anywhere can be available everywhere -- providing Novus
Biologicals with the single system of record they required to achieve
enterprise-wide visibility of their customers, products and services
worldwide.

"Selecting Epicor's highly scalable and flexible ERP solution was
critical to supporting our expansion plans and consolidation
strategies," said Scott Osgood, vice president of IT for Novus
Biologicals. "As a result of our substantial product line growth,
Novus Biologicals is expanding into new markets and geographies
prompting us to invest in a modern enterprise-class system that can
support our global business requirements. Epicor will automate tasks,
streamline business processes and synchronize backend operations
allowing us to focus on strategic activities that will help us
facilitate profitable growth."

With Novus Biologicals' product line rapidly growing into
international markets, staying on top of business became unbearable
with their old system. "The opening of our UK office was the tipping
point which led us to search for a global business management
solution," added Osgood. Epicor's global ERP platform provides them
with multi-country, currency, and language support, as well as
multisite management tools that will centralize, streamline and
automate financial processes.

Further, Novus Biologicals expects to decrease inventory carrying
costs due to better planning, scheduling and tracking capabilities
with Epicor's extensive range of supply chain management (SCM) tools.
"Understanding the position and availability of our products
throughout the world allows us to deliver our products and services
faster and at a lower cost to our customers," said Osgood.
Additionally, Novus Biologicals is using Epicor Commerce to integrate
their Web site and Epicor ERP system to improve the quality of
customer interactions by managing demand faster and more efficiently.

"We are excited to provide Novus Biologicals with a flexible business
solution that will scale with the company as they grow now and in the
future," said James Norwood, senior vice president, worldwide product
marketing for Epicor. "Epicor will allow Novus Biologicals to focus
their attention on strategic growth activities by enabling them to be
more efficient in the management of their business operations and
responsive to the needs of their customers on a global basis."
