The number of businesses using enterprise resource planning (ERP) software applications is continually increasing as the option is becoming more prominent in mainstream business today. To increase their bottom line and take advantage of the money- and time-saving benefits ERP software has to offer, more businesses are now migrating their ERP to a cloud.
Today, we will go over 5 reasons to migrate your ERP to a cloud so you too can benefit from it as soon as possible.
Reduced Costs
A cloud-based ERP system sees much lower implementation costs when compared to more traditional and hosted models. With the cloud, there is no hardware to set up, which means you are operational immediately. There will be no system downtime. You also don’t have to contend with the costs associated with server maintenance.
All software additions and upgrades happen automatically in the cloud without any system interruption and downtime. Hours are saved, there is less of an investment upfront, and everything only runs on a monthly fee for software that can be used right away.
Allows For Remote Access
These days, remote access is important to any business. With a cloud-based ERP, employees can access cloud-based ERP platforms from remote locations just as easily as they could if they were working within the premises. They will not have to contend with a slow VPN or remote portal technology to gain access to real-time data.
Business Intelligence Capabilities
When you migrate your ERP to a cloud, you can also take advantage of business intelligence capabilities. A cloud-based ERP integrates easily with all the other business operations, allowing the business to run more smoothly. It is easy to extract data and connect to data storage.
Higher Level Of Security
You will find more centralized cybersecurity measures in place when you migrate your ERP to a cloud. There are more secure gateways for remote access and document management systems that protect sensitive data. The security features also help prevent data loss and ensure proper authentication of user access across the entire system.
Increase Productivity
Finally, you will find increased productivity because you can access the cloud system at any time of the day and from anywhere. This improves mobility for employees working remotely or on the go. If you have multiple offices, it provides the flexibility you need to ensure more streamlined communication and connectivity.
