David, I don’t disagree with you in principle. I agree that automation and orchestration is looking very promising for AI. We see this in the coding arena already. Also, adding a conversational interface to systems is well-suited to AI along with fuzzy searching using BERT-like vectorization.
Unless Epicor is training on our data, which I have not heard they were nor am I sure that some companies would be pleased with that, the only changes would be on Epicor’s codebase. Again, I don’t see why that could only happen with user databases in SaaS.
