3 Epicor Senior Living Solution Inspired Aged Care Residential Management and Community Care Epicor is Australia s market leading solution for the aged care industry, currently managing over 50,000 residents. Epicor Senior Living Solution (SLS) has been specifically designed for operators of independent living, residential aged care and community care organisations. The solution provides the functionality required for managing the marketing, administrative, client, workforce management and financial aspects of an aged care organisation in an integrated software system. Epicor Senior Living Solution is now offered via a software as a service (SaaS) deployment model, a cloud-based version of the award winning Next-Generation ERP solution. The SaaS platform offers smaller organisations the same important and relevant functionality used by larger residential aged care and community care service providers, in a format that reduces capital investment, implementation cost and removes many of the IT administrative tasks. With today s business environment, senior care and living operators must be more efficient than ever to provide high quality services while maintaining profitability. Epicor Senior Living Solution is designed and developed in Australia, with customer support based in Melbourne. Epicor SLS offered the most comprehensive solution for our needs, plus it had a lot of value added features. Lachlan Bakewell, Business Solutions Manager Villa Maria Melbourne, Australia

5 We identified Epicor as an international leader and expert in its field. As a result, we felt confident it would be a great fit for our organisation and could match our specific needs.

John Stuart, Chief Executive Officer Twilight Aged Care Sydney, Australia

7 We looked at a range of financial packages and integrated software and we felt Epicor was more open to cater to the expansion of the business. We wanted to make sure we had a solution that would grow with us and also provide support if we expand into other areas which may not necessarily be aged care specific. Trevor Weller, Finance Manager Huon Eldercare Tasmania, Australia

8 Twilight Epicor Success Story Aged Care Leading aged care organisation, Twilight Aged Care, improves access to company data, patient information, and claiming processes with Epicor Senior Living Solution. Background Twilight Aged Care (TAC) is a not-for-profit aged care organisation, established as a private charity in With 160 residents, TAC s primary aim is to provide homes to men and women who need care and to offer support to their families. Challenge John Stuart was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of TAC in He conducted an initial analysis of the management issues facing the organisation and identified a number of problems. He found that the organisation s business processes could be improved through better information management. The most pressing issue was the fragmentation of information relating to residents in the hostels and the laborious manual processes relating to the management of financial information. We really lacked a centralised system whereby we could effectively manage all resident and client data, as well as our financial data, including subsidies provided by the government. We needed something that could operate across all four hostels. A robust financial and CRM system was critical to the future integration of related systems, said Stuart. Solution Stuart explains why TAC selected Epicor Senior Living Solution: We identified Epicor as an international leader and expert in its field. As a result we felt confident it would be a great fit for our organisation and could match our specific needs.

9 Benefits TAC has experienced substantial benefits since implementing Epicor SLS. The Epicor system has allowed for a consolidation of information across the TAC group via a single point of reference and has eliminated the double entry of data giving the business a much greater confidence in the integrity of its information. We are now in a position to analyse data and add value to the information. Access to information has been the biggest benefit achieved and in particular allows us to have a manager or registered nurse on call to assist staff with managing clinical problems. Managers can also access all information on a resident from their remote site or from home. With the increased complexities of information management requirements in the aged care industry, it was important that TAC s systems allowed them to put their energy into value-add business processes. We are in a position where we can take advantage of industry changes and new trends. In 2010 we purchased a new home and we were able to integrate the information and operations of the site with the organisation s overall processes almost immediately. The systems we now have in place allow us to grow and expand in the future with little trepidation, explains Stuart.

14 Epicor Mobility Your Competitive Advantage in Community Care and Residential Management The image of the traditional ERP system doesn t match with the powerful mobile devices and flexible software solutions empowering today s community care and residential management organisations. Enterprise mobility is about flexibility, providing easy access to information and processes to employees wherever they are located. It can encompass everything from the integration of mobile phones into a corporate telephone system to vertically oriented solutions involving the quick delivery of productivity enhancing information to remote workers. With the rapid expansion of mobile devices, you should make sure that your ERP solution can handle deploying information and transactions to mobile devices seamlessly. Epicor Mobile enables businesses to easily deploy and manage mobile devices and services to many users and disparate geographies. Epicor Mobile offers a range of methods for mobile access to Epicor Senior Living Solution through web browsers and smart applications on mobile devices.

15 Epicor Senior Living Solution Software as a Service (SaaS) ERP Epicor Senior Living Solution is now offered via a software as a service (SaaS) deployment model, a cloud-based version of the award winning Next-Generation ERP solution, enabling customers to eliminate inefficient systems without the big IT costs or infrastructure headaches. More importantly, it enables businesses to focus on their core business operations instead of managing IT. Instead of requiring aged care and community care operators to make significant investments in infrastructure and software licences, the SaaS framework enables the software to be deployed from a purpose built data centre. Professional hardware maintenance and a help desk are also provided through the data centre. The SaaS platform offers smaller organisations the same important and relevant functionality as used by larger residential aged care and community care service providers, however the SLS SaaS solution is specifically configured to suit the needs of smaller aged care organisations, reducing capital investment, implementation cost and removing many of the IT administrative tasks. As an organisation evolves and grows, Epicor SaaS ERP can simply scale with them. The SaaS software is exactly the same software as used for on-premise implementations, so if a customer decides to change to another deployment model it s much easier to make the move.

16 When we went to market it was for a resident/ client management system that would interface to our Oracle back office system. But having seen how good Epicor is, we made the decision to run everything on it as a totally integrated system. The reduced operating costs and increased functionality should deliver a strong payback to Brightwater. Bret Campbell, Manager Strategic Finance Brightwater Care Group Perth, Australia
