Any Epicor consultant worth your time and money will have had several successful implementations over their many years working in the business software industry. When you ask your potential Epicor consultant how many successful implementations they’ve had, they should be able to give you an exact number without much thought.
4. What Is the Timeline For Implementation?
You don’t want to go through the entire process without an end date in sight. An exceptional Epicor consultant will be able to give you an estimated timeline for any project.
They will be able to give you a detailed estimate where every step of the implementation is planned out in great detail. They will be able to tell you how long it will take for installing/upgrading the software. They can even tell you how long it should take to train all of your employees on using the software.
5. Do You Have a Money-Back Guarantee?
The right Epicor consultant for your business will be so confident in a successful implementation that they will have a really great money-back guarantee. It’s likely that companies with a really good money-back guarantee rarely ever have to repay their clients.
