While in some cases on-premise ERP is the right choice, most often cloud-based solutions are just beyond competition. There are valid reasons why more and more businesses opt for cloud-based solutions<\/strong>. Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/p>\n

Mobile rules!<\/h2>\n

With mobile and wearable devices, the cloud has become the only reasonable option<\/strong>, since the data is already there and not in an isolated, on-premise system that may or may not support web access. And let us not forget about mobile apps that allow us to work from our preferred smartphone<\/strong>, regardless of where we are.<\/p>\n

Security<\/h2>\n

Cyber-attacks are a reality and cloud applications have the primary advantage of being regularly updated<\/strong>. And these updates are applied for all users. On the contrary, on-premise ERP applications are not that regularly updated and, as a result, businesses are often forced to rely on outdated versions.<\/p>\n

It is a common misunderstanding among decision-makers that the operations executed on-premise are more reliable than a modern, cloud infrastructure<\/strong> that is protected with the most advanced data privacy and security solutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Access and transparency<\/h2>\n

The cloud offers a secure way for customers to access their data, with safety and transparency. Furthermore, cloud-based solutions offer cooperation and data sharing features<\/strong> that are just not possible with on-premise systems, enabling you to resolve issues quickly and monitor time and expenses<\/strong> effectively. This changes the way projects are completed, eliminating old-style status reports and time-consuming email chains.<\/p>\n

Automation and processes<\/h2>\n

A primary advantage of ERP technology<\/strong> is that it brings transaction data closer to customer activity. This creates greater opportunities for automating processes<\/strong> related to support, delivery, project data etc. In any case, automation will enhance your business processes, since everything exists in the same cloud database<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Complex business models<\/h2>\n

Cloud-based ERP solutions support more complex<\/strong>, result-based business models<\/strong>, which are more and more required by the modern as-a-service economy. Businesses are now trying to offer bundled services that combine traditional products, subscriptions to software solutions<\/strong>, implementation and support services.<\/p>\n

When a cloud-based ERP system is properly implemented, it can manage all the above with a single contract, thus offering transparency and simplicity to customers<\/strong>, while at the same time automating any complicated processes regarding invoicing and supporting new types of revenue, whenever required.<\/p>\n

In a few words, you need to remember that, in most cases, the traditional old ERP systems have not been designed to handle complicated situations<\/strong>, thus limiting your options to respond to your customers\u2019 requirements and enhance innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
