Epicor ERP Data Archiving, Done Right
Archon’s Epicor ERP Connector extracts data from Epicor’s Progress OpenEdge or SQL Server database environments, covering Epicor 9, Epicor 10, and Kinetic, and archives financial, manufacturing, inventory, and customer records into ADS in open Parquet/Delta Lake format. .
Whether you’re upgrading from Epicor 9 or 10 to Kinetic, migrating to SAP or Microsoft Dynamics, or responding to an ISO 9001 audit requiring production records from five years back, Archon handles Progress OpenEdge’s proprietary data structures, Epicor’s Business Activity Query schema definitions, and retention requirements, eliminating the need to keep legacy Epicor versions active.
- Progress OpenEdge JDBC and MS SQL Server JDBC extraction supported
- Epicor 9, Epicor 10, and Kinetic (ERP) all supported
- Financials, Manufacturing, Inventory, CRM, Project Management, and HR modules
- Business Activity Query (BAQ) schema definitions preserved in ADS
- Cross-application search via Archon Analyzer, no Epicor license post-archive
Capabilities
Everything You Need for Epicor Data Operations
Manufacturing and Quality Record Extraction
Archon extracts Epicor job orders, quality records, production histories, BOM revisions, and shop floor data with full relational integrity, supporting ISO 9001, AS9100, and IATF 16949 quality record retention requirements for manufacturing organizations.
Progress OpenEdge Data Handling
Epicor 9 and 10 run on Progress OpenEdge, a proprietary 4GL database platform. Archon's OpenEdge JDBC extraction handles OpenEdge's specific data types, date formats, and schema structures without requiring custom ABL scripts or intermediate export tools.
SOX and GDPR Compliant Financial Archive
Every archived Epicor GL, AP, AR, and fixed asset record is cryptographically hashed, timestamped, and written to WORM-compliant storage. SOX 7-year financial record retention and GDPR data lifecycle management are enforced through Archon's retention policy engine.
Cross-Application Search
Archived Epicor data is immediately searchable via Archon Analyzer. Query job orders, GL postings, customer orders, and supplier invoices by any field without a live Epicor instance or Progress OpenEdge license.
Use Cases
How Enterprises Use the Epicor Connector
01 Epicor Version Upgrade or Platform Migration
Migrating from Epicor 9 or Epicor 10 to Kinetic, or moving to SAP or Dynamics, requires archiving the historical ERP record before cutover. Archon extracts the complete Epicor dataset, makes it searchable in ADS, and eliminates the need to keep legacy Epicor versions running post-migration.
02 Manufacturing Quality and Compliance Audit
ISO 9001, AS9100, and IATF 16949 audits require access to Epicor production records, NCR histories, and quality data spanning multiple years. Archon surfaces these records on demand from ADS, avoiding the need to reactivate Epicor and supporting auditor requests without IT involvement.
03 Financial Audit and SOX Compliance
Statutory auditors and tax authorities require access to Epicor GL, vendor ledger, and customer ledger records going back 7 years. Archon archives the complete Epicor financials history with SOX-compliant immutability controls and makes records retrievable for audit on demand.
04 Customer and Supplier History Preservation
Sales order histories, customer credit records, and supplier performance data held in Epicor are business-critical even after ERP migration. Archon archives the complete Epicor CRM and purchasing dataset, making it searchable for customer service and procurement teams without a live Epicor system.
