Well, this just highlights that it’s already a thing. Is it something that’s do-able yet @Mark_Wonsil ? Are there enough products that fit well enough together and have enough usefulness and cost effectiveness to start challenging monolithic ERP systems? ---

I haven’t seen it. People wildly underestimate the integration. It’s a nice idea though… ---

Conceptually great. Implementable? unknown. Every piece of software should be able to talk to any other piece - in the end that’s all we want, right? Everything with an open API. And data? Universal data model? Layers of data layer anonymization clogging the pipes. Layers upon layers of API code for these pieces to communicate just takes the place of our current problem and then some vendor changes the API tool set that you use and you have to rewrite. As long as there are vendors in the loop, we’re screwed. ---

This really sounds much like what Microsoft was aiming for back when they bought Great Plains Dynamics, Navision, etc and started to sell them as modules to build a ERP to your companies needs. ---

Subscription license with source code. Works for them financially and for us control wise. They go out of business, source is open. Our configurator ([D3Ruler](https://hs.teamd3.com/ruler-automation)) not only integrates with ERP BOM, it also does 3D CAD models and 2D drawings and **we have the source code**. They customize to our needs, working in **our SCM** , deploying to **our servers**. We can dev/deploy ourselves if we want. ---

I got a couple (in quarantine 🤣) with this subject: It seems that they are doing a Survey on moving to the cloud and wanted to get an input from the customer base on what are the factors that make a move to Kinetic cloud challenging and undesirable for our organisation.

I don’t think a class from 13 years ago means anything. **September 26, 2025** : - **Cloud-First, Not Cloud-Only:** Choose your deployment strategy—public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises—based on your needs and timelines. - **Scalable and Configurable:** Whether you’re scaling up or entering new markets, Epicor grows with you, providing the flexibility to adapt without a complete overhaul. If Epicor stopped selling On-Prem licenses long before that, this blog post sounds like complete Bait, especially since CVC back in 2024 said they are looking forward to making Epicor the best in-class SaaS. > **[From Stability to Strategy Financials Portfolio of Epicor Explained](https://www.epicor.com/en-us/blog/business-and-finance/from-stability-to-strategy-the-financials-portfolio-of-epicor-explained)** > > The Financials Portfolio of Epicor Explained ---

Have you tested this on browser yet? For cloud users in browser it is going to pull it down in its own .zip file which you have to rezip to put it back. Yeah browser upgrade is going to go from bad to worse. ---
