"Mid-market retail has all of the challenges of the largest retailers and all of the IT budget and capacity for change of the smallest retailers. In order to remain competitive, it is increasingly critical for these retailers to have a strong grasp of the trends impacting their businesses," said Nikki Baird, managing partner for RSR Research. "The acquisition of QuantiSense is a smart choice for Epicor. I'm looking forward to the addition of powerful analytics on top of Epicor's vast set of transactions and customer data.
