White Papers , , , , , , , , Sean Balogh

In the face of growing competition and a challenging business climate, many job shops and manufacturers are looking for ways to reduce costs, streamline operations, and improve the bottom line. Implementing enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is a proven solution for running a business efficiently and effectively. Yet, a large percentage of job shops and manufacturers have held back from implementing an ERP system due to high initial costs, long implementation times, and competing demands for time and resources.

This paper describes how cloud-deployed (sometimes referred to as software as a service, or SaaS ERP) delivers financial, implementation, and operational benefits to job shops and manufacturers. It also describes how cloud-deployed Epicor ERP—a comprehensive ERP system—meets the needs of job shops and manufacturers. With Epicor ERP, job shops and small manufacturers now have the opportunity to implement an ERP solution that can help transform their operations and their business.

Keeping Up With The Cloud – White Paper – Epicor ERP

White Papers , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Sean Balogh

Business leaders who choose to deploy an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution on premises in an increasingly cloud-trending world have several reasons for their decision. Many choose to keep their system on premises because they are inexperienced with and wary of cloud-based software. Others are concerned they have insufficient resources to move to a cloud solution because their existing system is full of customizations that will complicate migration processes. Some prefer on premises ERP because they feel it better supports regulatory requirements such as ITAR or FDA compliance. Regardless of why your business has chosen on premises over cloud-based ERP, your choice doesn’t have to limit your ability to compete with the companies whose capabilities are elevated by the cloud.

6 Imperatives Driving a Connected Manufacturing Strategy – White Paper – Epicor ERP

White Papers , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Sean Balogh

As our world changes, we’re becoming more connected in all aspects of our personal and professional lives. While the number of connected devices increases, the cost of technology is decreasing and fundamentally changing our expectations. The pervasive use of smartphones, smartwatches, and home virtual assistants serves up a steady stream of information that keeps us always connected to nearly whatever and whoever we choose. Now, facilities are increasingly becoming connected—like connected cars, connected cities, and connected flights. That means organizations are also creating new connections—like connected factories, warehouses, and machines, as well as the underlying software—to innovate how they leverage data for productivity gains, savings, and revenue growth.

How ERP Simplifies the Business of Manufacturing – White Paper – Epicor ERP

As the manufacturing sector is poised to enter a new era—with additive manufacturing, cluster manufacturing, and near-shoring—and as digitization of the shop floor is creating new connections and new data streams, the need for responsiveness is more critical than ever.

Organizations must turn the explosion of data they have into intelligence and insights to support real-time decision-making, at every level and across every function in the organization, and the extended supply chain. But over time, the ERP system—originally intended to automate and integrate business activities for improved productivity—starts becoming a real drag dragging down operational performance.

Improve Scheduling, Production, and Quality With Cloud ERP – White Paper – Epicor ERP

White Papers , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Sean Balogh

The software as a service (SaaS) model of application delivery, more commonly known as “cloud deployment,” in which software features are accessed through a Web browser, is an excellent way for manufacturing companies to get the benefits of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems without the need to build additional IT infrastructure. ERP functionality delivered “from the cloud” avoids the complexity and costs that often accompany on-premises ERP implementations, and typically provides a much more favorable total cost of ownership (TCO), compared to legacy on-premises deployment. Companies subscribe to the software features that they need and can add new ones as business requirements change, without buying additional servers or storage to support new functionality. The ERP features are the same as for an on-premises ERP system, except that it is hosted and maintained on the cloud provider’s infrastructure.

Epicor Software Corporation is a leading developer of ERP software and systems based in Austin, Texas, with more than 40 years of experience in building ERP systems for thousands of customers around the world. Christine Hansen, a product marketing manager at Epicor with experience in the manufacturing business sector, presents some of the best practices used by discrete manufacturers. She also explains the benefits of the Epicor Cloud ERP solution.

Industry 4.0: Where is This Revolution Going? – White Paper – Epicor ERP

White Papers , , , , , , Sean Balogh

For any company trying to establish—or even simply maintain—a foothold in today’s rapidly changing business environment, the rate at which Industry 4.0 is expanding can feel overwhelming.

Standard business practices are shifting. New technologies are bursting onto the scene every week, and the average business has more data on hand and more ways to process that information than the biggest companies did 25 years ago. All of these changes seem to be happening at a quicker and quicker pace.

There is one other significant way the current environment differs from the first three revolutions. When we talk about Industry 4.0, it’s not just factories producing the goods that consumers and businesses want to buy that are dominating the field. Without a doubt, software companies still focus on manufacturers. For example, Epicor partners with numerous manufacturing sectors to provide the cutting-edge data analytics, business intelligence, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) resources that companies need to compete.

You have likely experienced the interminable hourglass spin while trying to open a large spreadsheet, or have spent multiple hours manually typing handwritten information into a system. In our data-driven world, it is safe to say that troubled encounters with large quantities of data are becoming the norm.
