Epicor ERP is quite new in terms of cloud - their latest and greatest release can also run in could. I did not see yet any live implementations of Epicor in the cloud because cloud is very restrictive in terms of customizations and it is quite a new technology for ERP.

Your best chance is to ask if the Epicor guiys have "Service Connect" which is a tool used to integrate Epicor with any other software. It exists for quite some years and it is has been used extensively so there are quite a few consultants which know how to work with it.

Best regards,

Mihai

You can use REST if those are provide out of the box. If not, custom development might be required. ERP would have integrated elsewhere with other clients. You can check it with them.

Most Saas products nowadays support REST based integrations.They also have online documentation of integration methods supported. You'll have to first check those before actually looking at all possible ways of integration. AFAIK Saas products support little or no customizing and they have standard webservices/APIs for integrations.
