Modern business practices are moving from traditional hardware and software solutions to the cloud. The cloud is a place where you can host your software and sometimes even hardware on someone else’s system. Hosting your information online has become easier and less expensive with the advances in server technology over the last 15 years. You'll have the same network security as Google, Amazon, or Microsoft but without having to invest the same time, capital, and labor costs.
Thus, an ERP in the cloud grows the modern business in ways unavailable before.
When it comes to business systems, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is fundamental. An ERP system gives you higher level control of human resources, inventory and supply management, customer relationship management (CRM), and accounting. To get the most out of an ERP system, you can make use of its customizability through add-ons and integration with other business systems. Customization also allows you to dial in your software management to specific levels and to integrate the cloud technology with your software and hardware on site.
While an on-site, fully customized and integrated ERP is a powerful tool, an ERP in the cloud expands your abilities significantly. With access from anywhere with an internet connection and from almost any mobile technology, an ERP in the cloud creates opportunities for quality control systems, business process outsourcing, and software development. Regardless of where your business physically sits.
An ERP in the cloud also creates an opportunity for quickly scaling your business into new locations. Whether you expand with new storefronts, new offices, or new warehouses, you can grow without the costly experience of buying an entirely new software system with the requisite hardware. Using only the PCs and mobile computers you have available, you can add new users to your system, and voila! Your new office is ready to go.
As more businesses grow with mobile technologies, cloud-based ERPs increasingly offer the necessary resources for growing your business while saving money and time over traditional ERP deployments, please contact us.
