Epicor Social Enterprise Fosters Collaboration

Epicor Social Enterprise (ESE) is another great way software is used for building collaboration. While conference calls and emails have been around for many years, manufacturers are continuously looking for effective, improved communication tools. Social collaboration aids response times. It allows your employees to work together quickly to harness your human capital.
