How Epicforce Tech Trains Your Team for Post-Migration Epicor® Success
Blog Article
Migrating to a new ERP system like Epicor® is a major step forward for many organizations. But too often, the focus ends at go-live—assuming the system alone will deliver results. The truth is, the real success of an ERP project depends on one key factor: how well your team is trained to use it.
A system is only as effective as the people using it.
At Epicforce Tech, we don’t just help you implement or migrate Epicor®. We focus on enabling your teams to adopt it fully, use it efficiently, and grow into it strategically. That’s why post-migration training is a core part of every project we deliver.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the importance of ERP training after migration and how Epicforce Tech ensures your team is set up for success from day one—and long after go-live.
Why Post-Migration Training Is Critical
Many organizations complete their Epicor® migration only to discover:
- End-users are unsure how to navigate the system
- Custom processes don’t get used correctly
- Reporting and dashboards are underutilized
- Teams revert to manual workarounds
- Helpdesk requests spike immediately post go-live
These are all signs of insufficient or ineffective training.

What Makes ERP Training After Migration Unique
Post-migration training is different from standard ERP education. Your users are no longer working with demos or theory—they’re operating inside a live, customized system.
Here’s what’s unique about it:
- Training must reflect your workflows, not generic ones
- It should use your data and environment for relevance
- It must be tailored to user roles, departments, and access levels
- It should address new features, changes, and process redesigns that came with the migration
That’s why Epicforce Tech creates customized learning paths for every post-migration engagement.
How Epicforce Tech Builds Role-Based, Relevant Training Programs
We take a structured, user-first approach to ERP training, built around your specific migration, configuration, and team structure.
✅ Step 1: Post-Migration System Assessment
We start by reviewing your migrated Epicor® instance:
- What modules are live?
- What customizations were carried over or added?
- Which roles have changed?
- Are there new integrations, dashboards, or workflows?
This context shapes everything we train on.
✅ Step 2: Identify Training Needs by Role and Department
We break down training needs based on:
- Departments (finance, sales, inventory, production, HR, etc.)
- User levels (end-users, power users, administrators)
- Process complexity (basic navigation vs. advanced reporting)
- Business priorities (which functions are mission-critical?)
We also identify who needs quick refreshers and who needs deep-dive sessions.
✅ Step 3: Design Custom Learning Paths
Based on the assessment, Epicforce Tech builds structured training programs for each group.
A typical learning path includes:
- Module-specific tutorials (e.g., AR, PO, MRP, CRM)
- Hands-on exercises using real data
- Process walk-throughs for key tasks
- Role-based checklists and quick-reference guides
- Video recordings for self-paced learning
- Live Q&A or follow-up workshops
We don’t overload users—we teach them what they need to succeed in their job.
✅ Step 4: Deliver Hands-On, Scenario-Based Training
Instead of theory-based walkthroughs, we train your users on:
- Actual business scenarios
- Customized forms and workflows
- Real reports, alerts, and dashboards
- Common mistakes to avoid in your environment
This accelerates learning, builds confidence, and reduces reliance on IT for routine questions.

✅ Step 5: Provide Post-Training Support and Knowledge Tools
Training doesn’t end after one session. We support your teams with:
- Live Q&A drop-in sessions
- PDF quick-guides and SOP documents
- Access to video recordings of training sessions
- Optional re-training for new hires or system changes
- System cheat sheets for complex modules or custom processes
We also advise your internal leads on building a sustainable internal knowledge base.
What Epicor® Users Commonly Need Help With After Migration
From working with dozens of Epicor® environments, we’ve found users often need extra training in:
Area | Why It Matters |
---|---|
New Dashboards | Custom dashboards must be interpreted correctly for decision-making |
Custom Reports | Users need to filter, export, and schedule reports accurately |
Updated Forms | Form redesigns often include new data fields and flows |
Automated Alerts | Understanding when and why alerts are triggered avoids confusion |
Workflow Changes | Even small tweaks to processes (e.g., approvals, inventory updates) can confuse users if not properly explained |
Epicforce Tech tailors training to cover these exact areas based on your setup.

Real-World Success Snapshot
“We went live with Epicor® and quickly realized our team wasn’t confident using some of the new features. Epicforce Tech came in, assessed where the knowledge gaps were, and created role-based training that made everything click. Within weeks, our operations team was using dashboards and forms they had been avoiding before.” — ERP Manager, Manufacturing Company
How to Know If Your Team Needs Post-Migration Training
Ask yourself:
- Are users still asking how to complete basic tasks?
- Are reports or dashboards underused?
- Is data entry inconsistent across departments?
- Do support requests spike around new processes?
- Are you missing out on automation or customizations?
If yes, targeted post-migration training could unlock immediate gains.
Conclusion: Train for Success—Don’t Leave It to Chance
ERP success doesn’t end at go-live. In fact, that’s just the beginning.
Without proper training, your team won’t fully use the system you invested in. You’ll miss out on time savings, automation, and process improvements—not because Epicor® can’t deliver them, but because your people weren’t equipped to.
Epicforce Tech makes sure that never happens.
We provide post-migration training that’s customized, role-specific, and aligned with how your team actually works—turning potential into performance.
