Date & Time

Speakers
Description
The gap between cloud-first and on-premises environments is widening in ways that affect security, agility, and the ability to use AI at all. Fragmented data doesn't just slow AI down. It stops it.
Migration and AI readiness aren't sequential, they're the same move. We'll look honestly at why the AI era has changed that equation, and what it means for tradeoffs you're already weighing. Because the consequences of staying the course are becoming harder to defer.
You'll leave with a clearer picture of what AI readiness actually requires and how Epicor's cloud and AI capabilities are built to support continuous innovation without starting over every three years.
