Epicor announces Vaibhav Vohra as Chief Executive Officer. Austin, TX. August 11, 2026 Epicor, a global leader in industry-specific enterprise software, today announced that Vaibhav Vohra will become Chief Executive Officer effective October 1, 2026. Vaibhav succeeds Steve Murphy, who will step down as CEO at the close of Epicor's fiscal year, September 30, 2026, and will continue to serve on the company's Board of Directors. The transition is the outcome of a planned succession process led by Epicor's Board of Directors, beginning with Vaibhav's appointment to President in October 2024, and reflects the company's confidence in its strategy and trajectory. Steve and Vaibhav will work closely together to ensure an orderly transition and business continuity for Epicor's customers, employees and partners. "Vaibhav is a proven leader with deep experience in enterprise software, and I am confident he is the right person to lead Epicor into its next chapter," said Jeff Hawn, Chair of Epicor's Board of Directors. "On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Steve for his outstanding leadership at Epicor and the strong foundation he leaves in place." Vaibhav joined Epicor in 2021 as Chief Product Officer and has since taken on roles of increasing responsibility, most recently as President and Chief Product and Technology Officer. In that time, he has led Epicor's product strategy, development, management and design, and has been central to advancing the company's cloud, AI and data supply chain vision. Before Epicor, he built and scaled technology businesses, including as a product leader at Gecko Robotics, and held executive product roles at SAP. "I am honored to lead Epicor as we enter a new era of transformation across enterprise software. Over the past five years, I've seen firsthand the people, customers, and partners that make this company special. Our focus remains on helping our customers grow and succeed in an increasingly dynamic world," said Vaibhav Vohra. "I want to thank Steve for his exceptional leadership and for all he has done to position Epicor for continued success." Under Steve's guidance, Epicor strengthened its position as a SaaS leader in industry-focused ERP, accelerated its transition to a cloud-first business, expanded its capabilities through sustained innovation and strategic acquisitions, and surpassed $1 billion in annual recurring revenue. "It has been a privilege to serve Epicor and the talented team behind it," said Steve Murphy. "We've sharpened Epicor's focus on the customers and industries we serve, and I'm proud of what this team has accomplished. With the company performing well and a clear strategy in place, this is the right time for a change. Vaibhav has been instrumental in shaping our product and technology direction, and he is the right leader for what comes next." Contact. Charlotte stretton.

Epicor Kinetic on-premises retirement: what you need to know. If your business is running Epicor Kinetic ERP on-premises, now is the time to start planning for the future. This is because Epicor has announced a roadmap for the final on-premises feature releases of Epicor Kinetic ERP, marking a significant shift towards cloud-based ERP. While businesses will not be forced to move to the cloud overnight, the direction of travel is clear: future Epicor Kinetic ERP innovation will be focused on the Cloud. For manufacturers relying on Epicor Kinetic ERP on-prem, understanding the timeline now can help you avoid disruption, make informed investment decisions and take advantage of the opportunities that cloud ERP can bring. When will Epicor Kinetic on-premises be retired? Epicor has announced a phased transition rather than an immediate end to on-premises support. For Epicor Kinetic ERP, the current timeline is: * January 2028: Final planned on-premises feature release - Kinetic 2028.1 * Through 31 December 2029: Active Support for Kinetic 2028.1 * From 1 January 2030: Sustaining Support begins This means that January 2028 is not a hard deadline for every on-premises customer to migrate. However, it represents an important milestone because Kinetic 2028.1 is currently planned to be the final on-premises feature release. Future product innovation will increasingly be delivered through the Epicor Cloud. For manufacturers that want to benefit from the latest Epicor Kinetic ERP capabilities, including ongoing innovation, cloud services and emerging AI functionality, planning a move to Epicor Kinetic Cloud should therefore be on the agenda now. Why is Epicor moving customers towards the cloud? The ERP market is changing rapidly. Manufacturers increasingly expect their ERP platform to provide continuous innovation, scalability, security and access to new technologies without the infrastructure and maintenance requirements associated with traditional on-premises deployments. Epicor Kinetic ERP is continuing to evolve, with Epicor investing in cloud capabilities, browser-based experiences, automation and AI. For example, recent Kinetic releases have introduced further AI capabilities through Epicor Prism, alongside improvements across planning, financials, reporting and operations. Epicor has also moved Kinetic towards a more frequent release model, with its 2026 release introducing a monthly continuous delivery approach for cloud customers. The result is a fundamental change in how businesses can access and benefit from ERP innovation. What challenges does an Epicor Kinetic ERP migration create? Moving from an established on-premises environment to Epicor Kinetic Cloud is not simply a case of switching servers. Many manufacturers have accumulated years' of investment in their ERP system, including customisations, integrations, reports, workflows and processes designed around the way their business operates. Before migrating, businesses should consider: Customisations and integrations. Which customisations are still essential? Which can be replaced by standard Epicor Kinetic ERP functionality? Which integrations need to be redesigned for a cloud environment? Data migration. Historical and operational data needs to be assessed, cleansed and migrated carefully. Poor-quality or unnecessary data can increase complexity and cost. Business processes. A cloud migration is an opportunity to review how your business actually works rather than automatically reproducing every existing process. Users and change management. A new deployment can mean changes to screens, processes and responsibilities. Training and user engagement are critical to achieving a successful transition. Timing and business continuity. ERP sits at the centre of your manufacturing operations. Production, purchasing, inventory, finance and customer service cannot simply stop while a migration takes place. Careful planning and testing are essential to avoid downtime. The opportunity: more than an ERP migration. The move to Epicor Kinetic Cloud should not be viewed simply as a technology project. It is an opportunity to step back and ask a more important question: How could your business operate better? Moving to the cloud can provide an opportunity to rationalise customisations, simplify processes, improve reporting, introduce greater automation and prepare your organisation to take advantage of future Epicor Kinetic ERP innovation. Epicor's cloud platform provides manufacturers with a scalable environment designed to support regular updates, browser-based working and technologies such as AI and low-code/no-code process configuration. Instead of simply recreating your existing ERP environment in the cloud, the migration can become a catalyst for genuine business improvement.

This is just as well, because a successful Epicor Kinetic ERP cloud migration can take considerable planning, particularly for manufacturers with complex processes, extensive customisations or multiple integrations.
