Epicor has postponed its Perspectives conference, originally scheduled to be held from November 9 through 12 at the Gaylord in Nashville, Tenn. It is now scheduled for May 6 through 9 at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. From a choice of places I don't like, this is a pretty even swap. (After the first 20 visits, Vegas sort of loses its charm.)

The teacher in my ice skating class last night was asking me what brand of ice skating blades and boots I wore. I said, “I don’t know and I don’t care.” I got a real discount a few years ago and got a discontinued style of boot and discontinued kind of blade that bore a retail price of $750 at a steal. A couple of years ago, I replaced the blades with a style that’s more suited for jumping and I might have to replace the boots. Read more...

Microsoft has announced it latest round of honorees at its Worldwide Partner Conference.

Epicor continues to be peculiar when it comes to the channel. At its Momentum Partner Conference early in June it gave out reseller awards.
