Assurance of Quality

When you are under contract for our Epicor managed services, we combine our utilization of automated systems that notify us of irregularities with our knowledge of Epicor. For instance, if MRP is taking 30% longer to run, it may not be a server or operating system, it may be a setting change in the process. Our unique understanding of both the systems and application software makes our Managed Services offering unique.

Customized Service

There are multiple ways Epicor can be deployed. Your installation and implementation has many settings and licenses that make every Epicor deployment one of a kind. Our deep knowledge of the hardware and software requirements and deployment methodology make us unique in our ability service all Epicor ERP customers.

Economical

To hire a Systems Engineer, Hardware Engineer, Telecommunications and Security Specialist and Software Consultant would cost you substantially more than outsourcing your needs to us. We monitor your system 24×7 so your staff can focus more on core business issues.

Software Management

Using the art, science and discipline of project management, EpiCenter will manage the back end of your Epicor ERP. Our services include planning, installation, configuration, monitoring and much more. We maintain and control all aspects to ensure maximum efficiency.

Monitoring

EpiCenter monitors resource allocation and transactional statuses to detect performance issues in the Epicor ERP. This is a unique capability as EpiCenter will look at the system’s performance, such as monitoring how long MRP takes on a daily basis. Most remote monitoring only looks at CP and disk usage. If there is a lag in performance, we want to find out why. It could be hardware, settings, timing, or new conflicts with BPM’s to name a few.
