ERP Cloud Services vs. On-site ERP: Benefits

Are you planning to use an ERP system for your business? If you have a plan for it and expressed your desire for it across the board, you are very likely to start receiving tonnes of requests from service providers with requests to consider their offers. Under such circumstances that you’ll become confused is natural. So, when it comes to choosing the one out of EPR Cloud Services and On-site ERP Solution, you ought to weigh which one of them gives you more benefits.

How are cloud-based ERP services different from on-site or locally installed ERP solution?

Quick-takes about the features of On-site ERP & Cloud ERP Services:

  •         On-site ERP solution is locally installed on a company’s hardware and servers
  •         Cloud-based ERP solution is managed centrally in the Internet
  •         Cloud ERP Services are provided by ERP vendor and their customers access the services via web browser
  •         Cloud ERP Solution is also known as Software as a Service (SaaS)



Cloud ERP is a comprehensive, all in one business management solution. The best Cloud ERP Service providers include project management, customer relationship management, payroll, accounting, HR, ecommerce, content management, and reporting tools into their service suites. They design the suite of Cloud ERP Services in such a way that it can save investment costs required for on-site back office administration and control systems. As a result, user companies will be able to concentrate on their core businesses. 



Key factors to consider while weighing whether to use on-site or cloud-based ERP Services:  

Investment costs: On-site ERP solution requires huge upfront investment to purchase and manage software and the related hardware, servers and facility to run it. A number of IT staffs will also be required to monitor them. On the other hand, Cloud ERP Services give you respite from all of them. The initial investment cost is much less than required for on-site ERP solution. Here you get pay-as-you-go subscription flexibility and many more.

System upgrades and enhancements: Flexibility to customize on-site ERP software is available but it will be tied to your current software deployment. If you require system upgrades and enhancements in future, you will then require uninstalling or deleting your previous systems. Again, these current upgrade and enhancement actions will be chargeable, obsoleting your previous systems resulting in double expenses! This is not a case with Cloud ERP Services. Any system upgrade will reflect on everyone’s system automatically, often charging very minimum or zero!

Deployment Speed: Any EPR deployment takes time and requires a careful planning. On the other hand, Cloud ERP Services offer clear advantages when you consider speed of deployment. Cloud ERP requires no additional hardware, your business doesn’t have to waste time to procure and install IT infrastructure.

With Cloud ERP Services, you can easily roll them out across multiple locations, regions, subsidiaries, and divisions, avoiding the costs associated with those rollouts.
