"We feel it is critical that we provide our employees with the best tools possible in order to deliver unparalleled service to our customer base," said Martin Burbridge, president and CEO of Crescent Electric. "Our order processing and business software is one of the most fundamental tools we use every day, and while our mainframe system has served us well for many years, we feel the time is right to move to a new generation software offering. Therefore, we have partnered with Epicor to leverage the Eclipse solution to advance our operations to the next level of excellence. It will allow us to do our jobs better, faster and with a greater degree of accuracy, and our customers will benefit from the change in vastly improved customer service and data access. We will gain many features that would take years to build if we remained on our current system, and every employee of Crescent Electric will be a part of this move to drive our company to greater efficiency and profitability."
