The Cloud Advantage: Epicor Prophet 21 on Microsoft Azure
For distributors looking to modernize operations, the cloud is not just a trend, it is a strategic imperative. And when it comes to hosting Epicor Prophet 21 (P21), Microsoft Azure offers a powerful, secure, and scalable foundation that transforms how your ERP system supports your business.
At 2W Tech, we have helped countless clients make the leap from on-premises infrastructure to the cloud. Here’s why Azure is the smart choice for hosting Prophet 21.
What makes Azure truly powerful is its ability to scale and shift with your organization. As your business grows, Azure grows with you. Whether you are expanding into new markets, adding users, or launching new services, Azure’s elastic infrastructure ensures your ERP system can keep up, without the delays and costs of traditional hardware upgrades.
Azure’s global network of data centers also ensures fast, reliable access for distributed teams, making it ideal for hybrid and remote work environments. And with built-in disaster recovery and high availability, your ERP stays online even when the unexpected happens.
ERP systems house your most sensitive business data, and Azure is designed to protect it. With enterprise-grade security features like multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, and advanced threat detection, Azure helps you stay ahead of cyber threats.
It also supports a wide range of compliance standards, from HIPAA to ISO 27001, making it a strong fit for regulated industries. When you host Prophet 21 in Azure, you are not just moving to the cloud, you are stepping into a more secure future.
Hosting P21 in Azure eliminates the capital expense of maintaining on-prem servers. Instead, you pay only for what you use, with the flexibility to scale resources up or down as needed. This not only reduces IT overhead but also makes budgeting more predictable.
Plus, by offloading infrastructure management to Azure, your internal IT team can focus on strategic initiatives instead of routine maintenance.
Running Prophet 21 in Azure opens the door to deeper integration with Microsoft 365, Power BI, and the Power Platform. That means you can automate workflows, build real-time dashboards, and even tap into AI-powered tools like Microsoft Copilot—all using your live ERP data.
This level of integration turns your ERP system from a back-office tool into a strategic engine for innovation.
Migrating Prophet 21 to Azure isn’t just about technology, it’s about unlocking new potential for your business. At 2W Tech, we specialize in secure, seamless migrations that minimize disruption and maximize value. From planning and deployment to ongoing support, we are with you every step of the way.
