I am currently at the Epicor Insights 14 event. What we know from our meetings with the CEO Joe Cowan and from the Chief Product Officer is that over the past year, Epicor has been rationalizing its development efforts to ensure a stable platform and release of Epicor 10. They have stripped the product of the Progress code and have embraced a Microsoft stack. They can actually achieve their multitenancy cloud deployments without having to be reliant on Azure but can do so if needed. We talked to two customers and the results have been faster upgrades times, as fast as 300% and a reduction of database sizes by almost 50%. There are some improvements here and being on the ground at the event, we've had some good first hand accoutns with 3 of the 14 early adopters as well as an opportuinty to talk to the development team.
