Cloud-based ERP: Before Making the Move

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the adoption of cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems has become increasingly popular. But what exactly does it mean to transition your ERP to the cloud, and what should you be aware of before taking the plunge?

When we talk about a cloud-based ERP solution, we're referring to ERP software delivered over the internet by a third party. This setup grants users access to their business data anytime, anywhere, via a simple web browser interface.

Why Choose the Cloud?

Scalability stands out as one of the most compelling reasons to opt for a cloud-based ERP system. Unlike traditional on-premises solutions, cloud-based ERP allows for seamless scalability as your business expands. This means you can adjust your ERP system to accommodate growing needs without the hassle of investing in additional hardware or software licenses.

Moreover, cloud-based ERP solutions streamline the migration process. In platforms like TRIMIT/Microsoft, transitioning to newer versions is effortless, ensuring you always have access to the latest features and functionalities without any disruptions.

Enhanced data security is another notable benefit of cloud-based ERP systems. By leveraging the hosting party's robust security measures, data recovery protocols, and backup procedures, businesses can enjoy greater peace of mind regarding the safety of their critical information.

Additionally, when you move to the cloud, your ERP system include the powerful tool Copilot as a standard. This tool enhance productivity and enables businesses to leverage AI-driven insights for improved decision-making and efficiency.

Is Cloud the Future of ERP?

Looking ahead, it's evident that the future of ERP lies in the cloud. It's no secret that Microsoft is increasingly prioritizing cloud-based solutions due to their numerous advantages, including scalability and seamless updates.

However, transitioning to the cloud isn't something you just do. Depending on your current solution setup, migrating from on-prem to the cloud can be a significant project, both in terms of time and investment.

So what do we recommend? While the prospect of migrating to a cloud-based ERP system may seem daunting, the benefits it offers in terms of scalability, security, and future-proofing your business cannot be overstated. So we highly recommend that you explore how migrating from on-prem to cloud will impact your business, and we are always ready to help you assess this.
