Currently looking for an Epicor Consultant with the day to day and specifics on Epicor within an Engineer to Order environment, EMPASIS on Engineer to Order. Requirements are listed below, there is an emphasis on Engineer to Order as this is not a regular implementation. The layout listed below is with our current understanding of Epicor and how it functions (maybe not all in the listed order), but of course we are open for restructuring in.
We worked with an integrator who was bought out during our implementation and the new company left us hanging two thirds of the way through. We already have a working knowledge of Epicor, but lack the in depth knowledge of how the system interconnects to make the final go live. The Epicor server and install environment is already functioning, though there may need some modifications and we have developed a process flow but would like to review with someone who has a better understanding of EPICOR. These are the reasons we are seeking a consultants help.
This opportunity is to work with our team to understand our current process and review the workflow we have developed within Epicor and making recommendations and or requiring changes. This entails working with IT (that’s me) to aid in learning how to not only create but maintain, repair and work with changes coming from our current in house developed SQL/Access based ERP solution.
With the Test environment in working order and tested, move it into the Pilot environment and work with our team to get the training to move and migrate into Production. Once in production, work with us on Go Live and work with any potential issues that may arise.
This is our current layout and understanding of how we should work. It is essential that each of these steps is known by the consultant (thats you). Recommendations to change are welcomed, as long as both the current method and recommended methods are known and fully understood by the consultant (you again). This will involve you coming to our facilities and working with us on this in Richmond Virginia. (more under the requirements)
