Insights 2025, our premier customer-only event, is approaching in Las Vegas on May 5-8. As an Epicor employee, it’s the most exciting part of the year because the face-to-face interactions and networking are invaluable experiences. There’s nothing like meeting with peers to talk shop, meet other users, and receive the latest industry updates from Epicor experts.

Work and Play

There may even be some more time to have a little fun—our keynote speaker is none other than athlete and coach Deion Sanders. Known for his dynamic personality, Coach Prime Time will share how his professional sports and coaching career translates to the front lines of the supply chain. After a day of learning and collaborating, put on your dancing shoes for an evening with Grammy award-winning artist Pitbull

Data-Driven Decisions

This year’s theme of Spark Action is centered around what you can do with data. How can an organization use its data to make well-founded business choices based on clear strategies? A secure and flexible ERP application deployed in the cloud enables access to innovative technologies like AI, business intelligence, machine learning, and more. Businesses can integrate with these tools to drive innovation and derive insights to make informed decisions.

Cloud is Key for Modern Businesses

Moving to the cloud has become a crucial step for businesses to stay competitive and agile. Here are just a few of the benefits of cloud migration:

  1. Robust security measures to protect data, such as advanced encryption, regular security updates, and compliance with industry standards
  2. Reduced capital expenditures on expensive hardware and maintenance, since a subscription-as-a-service (SaaS) model means you only pay for the resources you use
  3. Unparalleled scalability, allowing for businesses to easily adjust resources based on demand
  4. Little to no downtime, as data stored in the cloud is backed up and can be quickly restored in the unlikely event of an emergency
  5. Increased team collaboration because cloud applications are accessible anytime, anywhere

If you’re new to the cloud and want to learn more, attend breakout sessions at Insights dedicated to SaaS education. They are excellent opportunities, led by our team of cloud professionals, to bring you up to speed. Consider adding these sessions to your mobile app agenda:

  • Life in the Cloud: How to Prepare for a Successful Upgrade, led by our Cloud Operations team, will share best practices of upgrading to the latest release, one of the many benefits of a SaaS-deployment.

You can also learn directly from your peers—the Customer Panel: Cloud Lessons Learned and Benefits session features cloud users sharing their first-hand experiences of why they chose to migrate to the cloud, any challenges they faced, and the valuable lessons they took away from their experiences.

Finally, make sure to visit Spark Central in the Solutions Pavilion. Epicor Cloud experts will answer your questions and walk you through the migration process. There will be fun giveaways, sweet treats, and some limited-time cloud migration offers that you won’t want to miss.
