Benefits of Cloud-based ERP
The push for cloud-based ERP systems has been around for some time now, but there are still plenty of organizations who just can’t bring themselves to the idea of going with a cloud. However, with countless companies having years of experience, there no longer is a need to deny the many benefits of cloud-based ERP systems.
Here are just a few reasons why you should consider jumping into the cloud with your ERP system:
- Better scalability – Cloud-based ERP systems can grow as your business grows. This is particularly helpful for enterprises with seasonal activities that need to integrate new functions to meet specific business needs.
- Less upfront capital required – On-premises ERP systems usually lead to cost overruns and difficult implementations. Implementing, maintaining and keep your cloud ERP up to date is the responsibility of the solution provider, as well.
- Streamlined deployment strategies – Cloud-based ERP systems are designed specifically at creating solutions that are more responsive and more adaptable, making them easier to implement. It’s a faster implementation process, as well – on-premises systems often require up to a year, while a cloud ERP deployment takes just three to six months.
- Cloud ERP systems provide increased visibility and collaboration opportunities across departments – Giving businesses the tools for improved interdepartmental cooperation is a standard feature of ERP, and cloud ERP systems foster transparency, cooperation and accountability.
- More security for corporate data – Today’s top cloud ERP systems like Epicor provide a suite of security tools comparable to on-premises systems. Many offer additional advantages like automatic systemwide updates that fix security flaws, multiple redundant layers of failsafe and backups, and systems protected by a team of cloud security pros.
- Get faster and stronger with mobile – Cloud ERP makes it perfect for mobile systems since it offers centralized access to data across an organization. It’s also decentralized to remove traditional barriers to entry.
