Tom's executive leadership tenure in the technology industry makes him extremely well suited to take the stewardship of our expanding base of 20,000 committed customers, our more than 3,000 employees, our strong, growing partner ecosystem and our shareholders. He is, in the unanimous judgment of our board, the ideal person to lead Epicor as the Company enters its next phase of growth, profitability and market leadership."
"It is an honor to take the reins of this great company from one of the industry's true visionaries," said Kelly.

"I am extremely excited about the opportunity to build on the momentum that George has created and to ensure that Epicor extends its market leadership and industry leading growth by continuing to deliver innovative products, technology and services," continued Kelly.
"The combination of my industry experience, along with the excellent working relationship I have developed over the past seven years with George, the board and Epicor's senior executives has prepared me well for this step. We will continue to strive to deliver profitable growth through both innovation and consistent execution that is focused on our customers and the markets we serve.”
