Prepping African Companies For Growth In The Digital Environment

Epicor customer event highlighted how local businesses can use technology trends and strategies to become regionally and globally competitive.

Driven by significant growth in smartphone adoption, Africa is poised to become the skills pool for the world. Underpinned by innovation solutions derived from trends such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and data analytics, the continent has become an attractive target for international investment.

For Epicor Software Corporation, a provider of industry-specific software to promote business growth, these technology and business growth trends are reflected in the latest version of its next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, Epicor ERP.
