March 10, 2007 - IRVINE, CA -- Epicor Software Corporation, a leading provider of enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that Kasian Architecture Interior Design and Planning Ltd will implement Epicor for Service Enterprises to manage its global operations.
 
Kasian is an award winning, global architecture and interior design firm based in Canada. Since being founded in 1985, they have completed over 1000 projects and are currently in the midst of a rapid growth phase. Their four new offices in Toronto, Dubai, Mumbai, and Shanghai give them access to key international markets with world-class design opportunities.

A complete solution for the project-centric organization, Epicor for Service Enterprises includes functionality developed to support the precise needs of engineering, construction, and architecture firms like Kasian. Epicor for Service Enterprises provides a comprehensive closed-loop solution supporting the five key project-centric processes behind all Architecture, Engineering and Construction firms: managing business development, resourcing projects effectively, managing project delivery, streamlining financial operations with regulatory compliance, and analyzing business performance.

Utilizing an approach that they describe as, "pragmatic creativity," Kasian’s difference is the belief that inspired thinking liberates a stronger and more productive connection between people and their built environment. They do this through their unique process of bringing inspirational thinking to projects via techniques such as ‘visioning’ that brings the clients and end users directly into the design process. As one of Canada’s largest design firms, Kasian’s projects include the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary, Alberta; Songam Space Centre in Seoul, Korea; Laniakea Restaurants at the Kona and Hilo Airport in Hawaii; and projects in the Domestic and International terminals at the Vancouver International Airport in Vancouver, British Columbia.
