How one manufacturer blazed a smooth path to ERP cloud migration

Moving an on-premises ERP system to the cloud can be extremely challenging. That's especially true when the target is multi-tenant software-as-a-service ERP, which typically requires organizations to adopt generic business processes and give up customizations they built on the old ERP.

SaaS ERP has undeniable advantages in accessibility, ease of use, low maintenance and advanced technologies like AI. That makes it a worthy goal, but the journey usually involves numerous obstacles, and many companies adopt halfway measures instead of making a full commitment to running everything in the cloud.

In this episode, we explore one manufacturer's experience with moving from the on-premises version of Epicor Kinetic ERP software to the multi-tenant SaaS version and reveal the strategies it used for a successful migration.

Featuring: David Paquet, Director of Technological Innovation and Procurement, Tilton Group

In today's episode, we'll also cover:

  • How temporarily using the "classic" user interface eased employees' transition to the new, web-based UI.
  • Why the company didn't move its manufacturing execution system (MES) to the cloud.
  • How application programming interfaces (APIs) enable the SaaS ERP and on-premises MES to communicate.
  • Why Tilton Group adopted Epicor's AI-driven inventory planning and optimization tool.
