Why not host with Amazon/Azure/Google?
The big players entered the game a while ago. Amazon. Azure. Google Cloud. IBM. Sure, you can get your apps up there, and they’ll be “in the cloud.” But will your hosting company be responsive, and listen to your apps and know your Epicor Kinetic ERP needs? Can they differentiate between Epicor 9, E10, and E11? Do they know the difference between Epicor Eclipse, Epicor Kinetic, Prophet 21? Can they work with you as an Epicor ERP upgrade or consulting partner? EstesGroup does, can, and will. Is there a phone number to call if you have problems? Ours is 888-300-2340.
ECHO (EstesCloud Hosting) includes 24/7 server monitoring, backups, disaster recovery, identity management, and managed firewalls.
