We just finished our implementation project for Epicor 10. We loved the platform but now need development help with many things. Reports, customizations, etc. We are using a formal implementation consulting group for now but want to have someone of our own.
We are looking for PT/FT hire OR as a consultant where we work remotely or on-site.
Have you considered developing inside talent across your groups to do some of the development?
It may keep people more in tune with the software’s capabilities and timelines for development.
For example at my company(almost 2 months into epicor) most of our senior management team, and our planning and mfg engineering departments understand the basics of BAQs, EDD, and will get dashboard training in the near future. That basically covers a large part of the reporting features which allows our groups to easily make their own reports without having to burden our IT group.
Between myself(manufacturing engineer), and our IT department(consisting of IT manager and a programmer) we are just now getting into customizations and BPMs which covers the rest of our development needs
I’m not sure what the size of your company is and the scope of your epicor enviroment. Our case study is likely propped up by the fact we are a relatively small company (<100 employees) and we are a single company and site.
I think the best of both worlds is to work with a good consultant who can have an internal employee shadow him or her and learn the way it’s being implemented the right way from the consultant. That way you’re building up your internal person and also getting the work done properly

We don’t allow direct consultant advertising on the site, please provide an email address or contact method so that consultants on the forum can reach out directly.
We would like the internal knowledge. Our goal is to find someone who can work with us more directly that waiting for our current implementation group.
Camren, thank you for the reply. We want this very thing. An in-house person/group to work on our many, many project. We are trying to find that first person to join us.
