Are you wondering how a cloud-based ERP system can improve mobility? Actually, the answer is in the question: cloud-based ERP software actually ISmobility – mobility on steroids. In this age of devices – desktops, laptops, tablets, smart phones, etc. – the potential for harnessing cloud-based ERP software is limited only by how quickly developers can bring multi-platform business applications to those devices.
The ideal ERP software automates every phase of your business from product planning and inventory management to marketing and sales. Integration is a kind of mobility in itself in the sense that each business process never becomes isolated. ERP systems employ a module approach that brings in customer resource management, business intelligence, and analytics for a unified way to run an enterprise.
Cloud services are services that are available to users via the internet. Essentially, because the internet is an on-demand service, ERP systems that are run “in the cloud” are available and useable all the time; they are hosted on the Internet by remote servers. If you use an off-site e-mail service (like gmail or hotmail) and/or use web storage programs like Dropbox, you are already using the cloud – and we’re sure you’ve noticed just how much letting someone else host your data simplifies everything.
Why go to the cloud, exactly?
Taking your ERP system to the cloud truly frees you from local IT constraints. Going to the cloud has several other advantages as well:
- it saves money on IT maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshooting.
- you can scale up or down with no additional costs or waste
- your data is no longer locked down in licensed and proprietary software and applications
- you workstation is now … everywhere
To get mobile all you need is a web browser and the right ERP software with on-demand solutions in the cloud.
