The acquisition brings the docSTAR collaborative cloud-based enterprise content management (ECM) and automated accounts payable solutions to the Epicor enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions portfolio.
Available as a cloud hosted service or on premises, docSTAR software helps customers to streamline business processes with smart ECM, document management, automated accounts payable, and electronic forms technology that integrate with third-party ERP solutions. docSTAR solutions address the requirements of organizations in industries such as insurance, financial services, healthcare, real estate, manufacturing, legal, non-profit, education, and the public sector.
The acquisition of docSTAR supports Epicor’s strategy of strengthening and expanding its cloud offerings to continually improve customer experience and the value for customers, said Kathy Crusco, chief operating and financial officer, Epicor. docSTAR brings knowledge and experience in the development and implementation of cloud-based document management software, and also has a successful track record integrating its solutions with leading ERP offerings, Crusco added, pointing out that a near-term focus following the acquisition will be docSTAR integration to Epicor ERP.
