Permastore Epicor ERP Upgrade Case Study: Data Migration and BPM
Case study of Permastore's upgrade from Epicor Vantage to Epicor ERP, highlighting data migration and integration with plant machinery.
Permastore, a UK manufacturer of bolted modular tanks and silos, upgraded from Epicor Vantage to Epicor ERP to remove technology limits and enable integration with production equipment. The project used a clean deployment approach and the Epicor Data Management Tool to migrate over 160,000 data items in 2-3 weeks instead of 2-3 months. The upgrade also allowed revision of 13 configurators and implementation of BPM rules for work-in-progress visibility without modifying base code.
