ATS was once an Epicor reseller and KeyedIn chair George Klaus and his wife, CEO Laurie Klaus, were executives at Epicor Software. After the Klauses formed KeyedIn in 2012, the next management at Epicor in 2013 successfully obtained an injunction blocking ATS from using its products and intellectual property. They alleged ATS illegally used or duplicated Epicor software to provide unauthorized consulting and software customization services. In 2014, Epicor added four ATS executives as defendants.

KeyedIn Solutions has signed Alternative Technology Solutions as a reseller of its KeyedIn Manufacturing Cloud ERP. In a prepared statement, ATS CEO Vivian Keena, said, "Our partnership with KeyedIn will allow us to provide Cloud-based, configurable ERP built specifically for many of the specialized manufacturing verticals we serve." Probably the most interesting thing, however, is not this deal but the relationships of the parties of the two companies.
