Epicor swallows DSPanel

Cloud financial planning and analysis outfit Epicor has snapped up one of its existing independent software vendor (ISV) partners.

DSPanel gives Epicor access to a firm that has developed a cloud-based financial planning and analysis tool, Performance Canvasl, offered as Epicor Financial Planner.

The DSPanel offering is fully integrated with the Epicor ERP Cloud and supports those seeking financial, supply chain and workforce support.

Epicor CEO Steve Murphy said the acquisition will give CFOs and other business leaders a highly scalable FP&A [financial planning and analysis] solution to get to the right insights at the right time and take action to maximise business performance.

DSPanel CEO Jan Morath said the move would benefit the firm and its customer base, with more investment heading into its Performance Canvas offering.

“At DSPanel, we’ve always been focused on helping organisations optimise their financial and reporting processes to support strategic decision-making across the business,” he said.
