I am your host, Rebekah McCabe.  This week, Epicor discussed key developments in its Middle East growth strategy at the company’s 2023 Middle East ReConnect Customer Day, including plans to launch a new regional data center driven by surging customer cloud adoption. To meet the increased demand for cloud solutions amongst Epicor customers in the Middle East, the new UAE data center is slated to be online in Spring 2023.  It's great for Epicor customers as they continue to expand their regional-specific data centers. This growth will ensure high performance for global solutions, increased security, and enhanced ability for customers to easily meet their geographic-specific regulatory requirements. In other news, Unit4 announced the launch of Unit4’s Marketplace, a new platform where its ISV, Reseller, and Service partners can showcase their innovative industry and vertical Apps that link to Unit4’s ERP solutions.  Unit4’s Marketplace will expand its product’s potential for extensibility and customization, enhancing the customers' product capabilities. Now, Unit4 customers can get more from their product ecosystem. Finally, at the recent NetSuite Influencers Conference, NetSuite announced enhancements within its 2023 Release 1 with simplified accounts payable automation through bill capture and payment capabilities, automated price change for subscription renewal, added enhancements to rebated and trade promotions, increased control around tax exemption, and improved capabilities around indirect cost allocation. These innovations are all vital enhancements for NetSuite’s customer base, especially AP automation. This will significantly cut down on errors associated with manual data entry and save the client time with greater flexibility, enhancing the overall value to the customer.   Thanks for tuning into The ERP Minute.
