Epicor has several software packages that run on Unidata/Universe:


DataFlo (formerly DataWorks)
Avante
Infoflo
Manfact
Manage2000 (ROI Systems acquisition)

Vantage is the product that runs on Progress/SQL.


Epicor has their  "package of the future"  which started as Vantage and is now just called Epicor 9.  It is a Progress based system which can run on either a Progress database or SQL.


Manage-2000 aka ROI is still under the Epicor flag and using Unidata as
the database. ... development is still continuing on this product.
