The decisions that matter
New install, upgrade or something else? Get the decision right first.
Epicor serves many manufacturers and distributors well. Whether it is the right move for you depends on your operations, your current system and how the project is run.
Upgrade
Upgrade or reimplement?
Moving an older Epicor version to Kinetic is a chance to fix processes, not just migrate them.
Customization
What happens to our customizations?
Years of modifications and reports need a decision: keep, replace or retire.
Scope
What will it really cost?
Licensing, cloud hosting, services and add-ons change the total investment.
Partner
Who will implement it?
The implementation partner shapes the outcome as much as the software does.
Value
How will we measure success?
A business case sets the targets that keep scope and spending honest.

Frequent questions
Before your next Epicor decision.
Is Ultra an Epicor partner or reseller?
No. Ultra is independent and does not resell software, so our advice is based on your requirements.
We run an older Epicor version. Should we upgrade or look at other options?
It depends on your requirements, customizations and data. The decision check above highlights the factors, and an advisor can help you weigh the options.
We already chose Epicor. Can Ultra still help?
Yes. Ultra provides implementation oversight, including project management, data migration, testing and change management, alongside your implementation partner.
Does a conversation commit us to anything?
No. The first conversation is about your situation and whether independent support would help.
