Cloud-based ERP Solutions

Companies are looking to move additional workloads to the cloud. Many organizations begin their cloud transition with ‘quick wins’, introducing Skype for Business and Exchange first, then moving on to productivity solutions like Office 365. So, what’s next? As companies continue their cloud journey, there are opportunities for transitioning more complex, legacy systems—like ERP systems.

 

Transitioning a legacy ERP system may seem like a daunting task but here are a few reasons you might consider moving your ERP system to the cloud next:

 

Accelerate deployment: Without additional hardware, the deployment process is accelerated. Cloud-based ERP solutions are not installed computer by computer which also makes scaling the solution easier.

Easily accessible information – With ERP in the cloud, employees can access updated data from numerous devices. ERPs can help surface relevant information more effectively—and across siloed groups. A cloud ERP means providing that data wherever there is an internet connection.

Scalability – Scalable features and easy to scale as number of users increase. A cloud ERP grows with your company.

Cost – Like other cloud applications, the initial investment of a cloud ERP system is significantly lower than on-prem systems.
