ERP - In-house to cloud
We currently have a IN-house ERP system that we are ditching for a cloud based solutuon with one of the BIG 4 providers. A couple of them have said that they are unable to import data from our current ERP to the cloud service.. This makes zero sense to me.. How can historical data not be imported into a new system. What are some good questions to ask about data imports and just general questions to ask a provider when going from inhouse to cloud.

there is a fine distinction between importing business entities and importing transaction history.
For example:
On the one hand, an open purchase order is a business entity and every ERP system has tools to import open PO's (if your integrator doesn't do it dump him).
On the other hand, a fulfilled PO is no longer an active business entity. Some ERP systems can import it and some cannot.
On the gripping hand, it is usually technically possible to import historical entities, it is just a matter of technical know-how, goodwill and lots of cash.
