eZCom Ranks #1 in Apparel Magazine’s Software Scorecard
May 1, 2006 HACKENSACK, NJ -- eZCom Software, Inc. a leading business-to-business solution provider of web-based EDI applications, today announced that the company ranked first in Apparel magazine’s Annual Software Scorecard, appearing in the May 2006 edition. eZCom was rated first in the following  categories: Strategic Value, Quality of Support, and Quality of Service. eZCom also ranked in the top ten, in nine other categories including Long-Term Vision, Overall Performance, Ease of Integration, and Customer Satisfaction, scoring better than Inovis, SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft.
Apparel magazine’s Software Scorecard is the first software ranking specific to the apparel/retail industry providing a head-to-head comparison of the top software vendors. Based on votes from executives responsible for IT decisions, the scorecard ranks vendors on a combination of Customer Satisfaction and Breadth and Scope of Apparel Solutions and Business. Customer Satisfaction is weighted at 60 percent of the final score, covering 12 key metrics, such as: overall performance, understanding of apparel-specific business issues, ROI, strategic value and more. A vendor’s final ranking on Apparel’s Software Scorecard is based on the sum of its Software Vendor Survey points and the average total points it receives from Software Customer Satisfaction Survey respondents.
"eZCom's number-one ranking is a clear sign of the value and trust the company has built by delivering solid value to its customers," said Susan Black, publisher of Apparel magazine, which reaches 18,000 readers nationwide. "Reliability and a demonstrable return on investment are among the key elements in their selection of eZCom as the number one vendor in our strategic value category. Their votes also indicate, on an independent basis, that eZCom understands the unique needs of its customers, and has tailored its products to meet those needs."
