Epicor Customization Upgrades For Manufacturers | Epicor Kinetic

As part of the transition to the new user experience in Kinetic (the new name of Epicor ERP), we have a path to upgrade your existing customizations in the Classic user interface to low/no code configurations in Application Studio. Bring your business current with the new Epicor customization upgrades process.

Epicor Customization Upgrades Process

Your existing customizations are not going away when you upgrade to Kinetic 2021. They will continue to work in the Classic user interface alongside the Kinetic UX forms you have enabled, so you can adopt the new user experience at your own pace without business disruption.

During your upgrade to version 2021, you will have the opportunity to upgrade your Classic customizations to the new user experience. We’ll guide you during the transition with resources and programs to facilitate the upgrade and end-user adoption process.

Get familiar with Application Studio with easy access to education and helpful resources from the application. Also, Epicor Learning Center offers training on different Application Studio elements and use cases so you can become proficient with the tool.

The process is simple and can be broken down into the following four steps:

Upgrade

The customization conversion will run during your upgrade to 2021. Classic customizations that have a Kinetic UX equivalent will be automatically converted to a layer in Application Studio.

Convert

After your upgrade, you’ll be able to review the status of the converted customization layers in the new Configuration Upgrade Dashboard. Some UX components will come over automatically and some may need rework.

Verify

Review the issues and use Application Studio to update them or go back to the Win Form to update and then run the conversion program again. Check the Conversion Workbench Logs to review details about the converted layers.

You can also engage with our Technical Services Team at this stage so they can do the rework for you.

Deploy

Once the conversions are verified and issues are fixed you can deploy them to the menu.

That’s all there is to it! You can get started or learn more about the process by contacting your Encompass Customer Account Manager.

6 Imperatives Driving a Connected Manufacturing Strategy – White Paper – Epicor ERP

As our world changes, we’re becoming more connected in all aspects of our personal and professional lives. While the number of connected devices increases, the cost of technology is decreasing and fundamentally changing our expectations. The pervasive use of smartphones, smartwatches, and home virtual assistants serves up a steady stream of information that keeps us always connected to nearly whatever and whoever we choose. Now, facilities are increasingly becoming connected—like connected cars, connected cities, and connected flights. That means organizations are also creating new connections—like connected factories, warehouses, and machines, as well as the underlying software—to innovate how they leverage data for productivity gains, savings, and revenue growth.

Value of User Experience in the Workplace – White Paper – Epicor ERP

White Papers , , , , , , , , , , , , , Sean Balogh

The average smartphone has more than 60 installed apps, but you most likely learned how to use them with minimal trouble. This is because the user experience in applications for personal use is so intuitive. Users rarely visit the ‘Help’ section, and even young children are proficient without needing guidance.

However, it’s not the same case in software development. Global enterprise IT spending reached $3.7 trillion in 2019, but much of the user experience in enterprise software remains stuck in the past. Applications were often developed with features and functions in mind first; user experience was an afterthought. read the white paper to learn more about the Strategic Value of Outstanding User Experience in the Workplace.
