Industry players tighten security

Epicor Software Corporation announced that A World of Tile, Mendo Mill & Lumber Company and The Rock Garden have implemented the Epicor Eagle Hosting business management solution to enhance software and hardware security and enrich overall system reliability.

With 15 locations spanning Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico, A World of Tile has experienced significant success operating their business on Epicor Eagle Hosting.

"We were really impressed with the rich security and functionality of Epicor Eagle Hosting," said Bryan Hawthorne, chief financial officer for A World of Tile. "A key deciding factor for implementing the solution was to ensure that if our local Internet connection goes down, Epicor Eagle Hosting will always be secure and available to keep our business running. We are confident knowing that the hosted solution is free from external threats and is automatically updated to meet our business' needs."

Utilizing Epicor Eagle Hosting, The Rock Garden is positioned to benefit significantly from a system that is always current, secure, available, and redundant.

"The biggest value of Epicor Eagle Hosting is peace of mind," said Chuck Avery, controller for The Rock Garden. "We no longer worry about upgrading new system versions, managing back-ups or data security. We recommend that other businesses move to the Epicor Eagle Hosting solution. Instead of running an onsite IT operation, they will have more time and energy to focus on their own businesses."

According to Gartner researh director Sandy Shen, "Small and mid-size businesses should investigate cloud-based POS solutions to understand how they can enhance their business operations not only in streamlining daily operations, but also in attracting and engaging customers."
