ECC Isn't Breaking. It's Just Falling Behind.
Epicor’s on-premise sunset isn’t a distant deadline — it’s a strategic inflection point. And in ERP timelines, 2029 is tomorrow.
Most businesses treat this as a hosting decision. It’s not.
Moving platforms changes your cost structure, your upgrade cadence, your AI roadmap, and your dependency on the vendor. What you decide now shapes your operating model for the next 10–15 years.
Your Competitors Upgraded. Your Platform Didn't
What Staying on ECC Actually Costs You
No AI-Native Features
On-prem roadmap ends 2026–2028. Competitors are already running AI-driven search, dynamic pricing, and agentic reorder workflows. You're not.
Outdated UX
Aging storefronts lose customers to modern buying experiences before you even get a chance to compete.
Shrinking Ecosystem Relevance
Fewer developers, fewer integrations, fewer partners actively supporting legacy ECC — your options narrow over time.
No Agentic Commerce Capability
Autonomous B2B purchasing is gaining traction, but ECC lacks the foundation to support agent-driven ordering and procurement workflows.
Integration Gaps
Newer tools, marketplaces, and APIs won't connect cleanly to legacy ECC — leaving you patching gaps indefinitely.
Growing Tech Debt
Every year, on ECC increases complexity and cost-to-exit. Waiting doesn't preserve optionality — it eliminates it.
The longer you delay, the narrower your options become — and the higher your migration cost. ERP timelines compress fast once vendor leverage shifts.

Data Prep & Platform Setup:
Your product catalog, customer data, and order history are cleaned and structured. Your new platform environment is configured, and your ERP integration is scoped.

FAQs
The Questions Every ECC Business Asks Before They Move
Why migrate if Epicor isn't shutting ECC down?
ECC isn’t disappearing tomorrow, but it’s falling behind in ways that compound over time. Every quarter you stay, the AI capability gap with competitors widens — and the cost to close it grows.
What is agentic commerce, and do I need it?
Agentic commerce refers to AI-driven systems that act autonomously on behalf of buyers — automated reordering, intelligent quote generation, and purchasing agents that operate within defined approval rules. For B2B businesses, this is the next major shift in how customers will buy. Modern platforms support it; ECC never will.
Which platform should I choose?
It depends on your business needs and AI roadmap. Adobe Commerce offers the deepest AI extensibility for complex enterprises. Magento Open Source provides full control for custom AI integrations. BigCommerce delivers strong native B2B tools with a growing AI feature set. Shopify Plus offers the fastest path to market with Shopify Magic AI built in.
Will my Epicor ERP integration still work?
Yes. We rebuild and optimize integrations for Epicor Eclipse, Prophet 21, and Kinetic — and connect AI features and agentic workflows directly to your ERP data where applicable.
How long does migration take?
Most ECC migrations take 3–6 months. Simpler implementations can launch in 12–16 weeks, while larger multi-site environments may require additional time.
Will my data be preserved?
Absolutely. Products, customers, order history, pricing, and content are migrated, validated, and tested before launch.
What does migration cost?
Costs vary by platform, catalog size, integrations, and customization requirements. Use our TCO Calculator for a tailored estimate.
Should we reconsider our ERP as well?
For most businesses, keeping Epicor and modernizing the eCommerce layer is the right move. If you’re questioning your ERP fit, we’ll help evaluate your options — including how different ERP choices affect your AI roadmap.
