“We have been using Practical Technology Solutions for about 8 months now to augment my 1 person Epicor® staff.  We are using PTS to help us with screen changes, report development, BAQ/BPM development, performance advice, solution design, system integration, and functional consulting.  We have been very happy with their work.  They have always been clear about work estimates and stayed within them.  Their technical quality has been excellent and their cost reasonable. PTS has always been able to address our requirements even in emergency situations. I would recommend PTS as a partner for Epicor® technical services and continue to use them. “

“The straight forward approach was a relief and I appreciate how the PTS team jumped straight in despite the complex challenges we faced. I was able to speak with Jim directly several times, which provided a great amount of comfort. I never had any trouble reaching him and/or a member of his team. 

The team at PTS assisted in arranging meetings in which we discussed complicated business process and procedure requirements. This sped up the improvement process significantly. PTS’ methodology was a perfect fit to quickly and thoroughly address our needs and provide solutions. 

The functional results that were produced as a result of Jim’s team were a key component in keeping operations running. Moreover, their skills for development are extraordinary. On top of his work, Jim’s team also provided excellent support. They dealt with questions ranging from the absolute basics to advanced easily and with an air of patience that can only be described as completely forgiving! In short, I would have no hesitation in recommending PTS to any prospective client.”

“On a cold winter Wednesday, I joined a metal fabrication conference in the Cleveland area.  We were led to a room covered in brown; the far wall lit up by a projector.  As I unpacked my laptop, trusty notepad and pen, I was approached by a man with a jovial smile.  The feeling that I should know him welled up inside me.  After taking a second glance at my nametag, he said, “we’ve worked together, but we’ve never met face-to-face.”  He went on to tell me how years prior we collaborated on a BPM that defaulted the correct shipping address for purchase orders according to the User-ID on the PO.  “Before you built that, about once a month, these huge semi-loads would arrive at our office building, over 400 miles away from the factory.  It was extremely frustrating, but now we can laugh about it because your BPM has saved us 10’s of thousands of dollars.  It hasn’t happened since.”  He shook my hand and thanked me, as we remembered working together.  Hearing this story made me proud of what I do and where I work.”

With the lightning speed at which technology and software are improved and changed it is hard to keep up in today’s world. Is your system starting to have performance issues? We receive many emails and calls at PracticalTek with clients reporting their system is running slow or having trouble completing simple tasks. If you are experiencing similar issues it may be time for an upgrade to Epicor® ERP 10 or 10.2.
There are multiple versions of Epicor® ERP out there, including Vista, Vantage, and Enterprise, that have been great for many years. PracticalTek offers many services for these Legacy Systems.
With the rapid growth of technology in the past 20 years a lot of these Legacy Systems are starting to become very dated. Customers are expecting new features day to day and Distributors and Manufactures have trouble keeping up with an older system bogging them down.
New Features in Epicor® ERP 10, Epicor® ERP 10.1, and Epicor® ERP 10.2
When upgrading to Epicor® ERP 10, 10.1, or 10.2 you can expect an increase in efficiency and speed of your system. In the new version of Epicor® ERP, Epicor® has revamped its developing process to prioritize simplicity and performance to get you up and running as easy and as fast as possible.
In Epicor® ERP version 10, Epicor® has simplified the structure of its software to improve the performance and responsiveness of it. This will also bring about less errors with use. The most recent update to 10.2 brings all of this to the table along with improved stability and 1500+ new features and capabilities, along with more than 15 new modules if you are upgrading from Epicor® Vista or Epicor® Vantage. These new features can be customized and improve the efficiency of your company.
