ERP Software is a business software system
that allows you to input, interpret and manage data from a central database. It
operates in real time, and allows instant snapshots of manufacturing and
production status, linking accounts with purchase invoices and receipts and
making business operations efficient and effective.
Traditional
ERP deployments required significant amounts of hardware, such as desktop
computers and servers, not to mention software upgrades that had to be
implemented by an IT department. All that involved high cost, lengthy
deployments and complexity. This is where cloud technology has started to make
significant inroads into the provision of ERP.
SaaS Cloud ERP
Cloud ERP software does not need huge hardware
infrastructure with all the capital costs associated with that. Today
businesses can buy an ERP system provided by a company that supplies software
as a service (SaaS). The company professionals can access the software via the
cloud from anywhere and, for the most part, with any device.
Improved Operational Efficiency
There
are inherent advantages with cloud computing; it is fast, flexible and agile
helping businesses reduce complexity without affecting operational efficiency.
Some companies are able to implement a Cloud ERP solution to reach out to more
than 20,000 people within less than 18 months, which typically would have taken
at least 5 years with traditional ERP implementation. The speed of
implementation means tremendous value in terms of savings and time to market,
which Cloud brings to businesses around the world.
Increased Mobility
Mobility
is a big factor today for Cloud ERP software.
Some ERP systems extend to tablets and smart-phones, with apps available that
present data in the appropriate format for handsets. The emergence of mobile
devices coupled with powerful services at reasonable prices is unprecedented.
The development of apps means it is today possible for even a tiny business to
get practically complete ERP functionality, including Accounts, Book keeping,
CRM, Contracts, Expenses, Invoices, POS, Projects, Rentals and more, and run
their operations on a smart-phone or tablet.
