Again, I think there was a path where Epicor could have solved the problems Jose mentioned above by bringing the on-prem people along the cloud journey. Cloud architectures works on-prem too. And the nice thing is that once architected that way, users have the freedom to move in and out of the cloud as needs dictate. Imagine if “on-prem” ran the same exact way in the cloud? The users would use the same container images and pipelines. One day, a hardware refresh comes in at high price or a security incident happens. The customer could ship the database, config, and Epicor could have that customer up and running in no time - and get revenue for selling a recovery license. No Ascend program required because the architecture is the same. Or a company’s business has slowed down. They run the container locally to save on infrastructure costs, but Epicor continues to earn revenue from the subscription.
Man oh man, wouldn’t this solve both sides of the problem elegantly. You’re thinking in exactly the right direction

Sometimes the obvious answers really are the right ones. Let’s hope this gets some attention. Hard not to see the appeal to a solution like this.
