Epicor Software intends to become a more channel friendly company and to produce a definitive plan in October. "We are migrating toward a partner-led model, we are not there yet," Bob Aronson, the company's SVP of sales, said at this week's Insights conference. The company is close to a 100-percent channel approach in Canada and Latin America. While it will not move that direction in the United States, Epicor plans to make the channel a much more significant part of revenue here. Aronson said the company is simplifying a program that included a 67-page document for managing partners.
