Approved by both Epicor and Microsoft, running your Epicor ERP system in Azure offers your business a wide variety of benefits. One that isn’t discussed enough in my opinion is the additional security Azure can offer. Microsoft Azure leads the industry in constantly evolving security best practices, privacy and data protection, and regulatory certifications. Why wouldn’t you want that backing your Epicor ERP system?
Epicor leverages Microsoft Azure best practices for business continuity and disaster recovery, which sets the bar for the industry standard. Several copies of your ERP data are replicated in near real-time in primary and regional data centers. Rapid recovery happens in the unlikely event the primary data center isn’t available.
Azure has more certifications than any other cloud provider and meets a broad set of international and industry-specific compliance standards. Working with a company that meets and exceeds compliance standards is a no-brainer these days.
Azure also has best-in-class threat intelligence that leverages powerful security dashboards, analytics, and monitoring tools. Comprehensive data security measures, threats, and attacks are detected earlier, and vulnerabilities remediated before they can be exploited. Your ERP data is under constant watch and protection, allowing you to sleep better at night.
One more security feature I want to highlight is the data center security. Each data center has physical security on site, which is just as important as cybersecurity. Each data center location meets strict standards for controlling access approval, perimeter monitoring, building entrance, and server environment protocol.
