If you are looking or have an ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning system for your business
you might be considering whether or not you should host your application in the Cloud.
Today there is a growing trend to add ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning to the list
of applications that should be moved to the cloud. Here are 4 factors to consider when
making that decision:
4 Reasons You
Should Consider
Cloud ERP
1. The security of cloud-based ERP. While
many businesses feel strongly that their data
is more secure if it is under their own roof
that is often a misconception. The security
and disaster recovery of a professionally
managed cloud from a reputable cloud
provider like us is far more secure than the
server room of most companies.
2. Cost savings. Cloud based ERP eliminates
the need to purchase and keep current the
hardware and software required to keep ERP
software running at peak performance.
There is also an option to rent the ERP
licenses instead of purchasing which could
save you thousands of dollars.
3. Remote Access. According to recent
studies, most companies today have
employees who work from home or in the
field. Keeping those employees connected
to the information they need to respond
to customers and complete their work is
essential. Since Cloud-based ERP solutions
are designed to be accessed via the internet,
remote workers will have the same experience
as those workers in the office.
4. Integration with other business
applications. Most businesses rely on many
applications to serve their customers and
create value.
