DUBLIN, CA and HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM--(Marketwired - Jun 3, 2013) - Epicor Software Corporation , a global leader in business software solutions for manufacturing, distribution, retail and services organizations, announced its collaboration with Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) Open University during an official signing ceremony in Ho Chi Minh City.
As part of the collaboration, Epicor will provide its next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) to the University and train various faculty lecturers in its application and functionality. These lecturers will in turn teach and train students in their respective faculties. Students from finance-banking, business administration and accounting-auditing will have hands-on experience in the ERP modules which include financial, manufacturing and distribution.

"We are pleased to partner with Epicor in its pioneering support to the tertiary education sector in Vietnam," said Mr Le Bao Lam, Headmaster of HCMC Open University. "Epicor ERP software will allow students to gain practical knowledge from available virtual business models and apply it to real-life situations.
