Epicor’s newly found (how many times is this?) belief in the channel is to use it to help with sales bandwidth as demand grows. That was the message delivered by CFO Michael Pietrini this week at the Cowen & Co. technology conference after he was questioned about why the company isn’t more aggressively cultivating a channel. Pietrini characterized the approach this way: “We have a very strong strategy for rounding out our channel.” He indicated that channel growth may be more needed internationally to deal with sales volume.
