System integration

Epic’s Integrators are a set of standard tools that interface directly with most back office systems, such as Oracle and SAP. By utilising Epic’s Data Transformers, the Integrators can actively retrieve and post data into the back office system. This provides an extra level of integration. Thus, achieving the close union of systems that you require.

Keep Operations Running with Built-In Resilience

Epic's distributed architecture is designed to maintain service continuity by spreading tasks across multiple machines. Each part of the system runs independently and can be dynamically reassigned to other machines in the network if needed.

Primary and backup sites can be part of a single implementation. If disruption occurs at the primary site, operations can automatically transfer to the backup environment and return when normal service resumes.
