Kohezion vs. Epicor Connected Process Control

Kohezion is a secure operational database platform designed for organizations that cannot afford gaps in their data governance, compliance posture, or operational continuity. The problem Kohezion solves is one most growing organizations know well. Critical processes live in spreadsheets that were never designed for them. Data is scattered across disconnected systems. Access cannot be properly controlled, nothing is auditable, and every time a process needs to change it takes weeks and outside help. Kohezion gives teams a way out — a platform where they can build, own, and evolve their own data infrastructure without writing code or depending on a development team. The drag-and-drop application builder lets operations, compliance, and IT professionals configure fields, data relationships, validation rules, calculated formulas, permissions, and automated workflows entirely through a visual interface. Applications can be modified in real time as needs evolve, without downtime or development cycles. Security and compliance are foundational. HIPAA and PHIPA compliance, role-based access controls, field-level permissions, encrypted storage, encrypted backups, and three independent audit log layers are built into the platform. REST API and webhook support enable external integrations. Real-time dashboards, automated reporting, and embeddable online forms give teams full operational visibility. Karla, Kohezion's AI-powered OCR assistant, extracts and routes data from paper-based or digital documents directly into Kohezion databases, eliminating manual data entry for document-heavy workflows. Trusted by Harvard University, Yale University, and public health agencies across North America. A product of TGMT Systems, founded in 1998, Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.
