SHOULD YOUR BUSINESS MOVE TO ERP CLOUD SOFTWARE? TOP FACTORS TO CONSIDER 

It seems like every other organization is moving to software solutions with ERP cloud vendors. But whether to shift or not depends upon different factors that govern the functioning of the business. Businesses must consider these factors before moving to ERP Cloud Software: 

Cost

If your software is integrated with external services like SMS, e-invoicing, etc. there is a cost on them as well. But, the benefit of moving to ERP on cloud with SaaS model provides savings with regards to server setup and maintenance cost, cost of hiring and maintaining a software team, cost on data backup, and disaster recovery. 

Customizations

Some organizations may function well with the generic features of the software while others may need customizations to streamline their business processes. Manufacturing is one such field that may require heavy customizations to release the full potential using cloud ERP for manufacturing. While organizations should benefit from custom solutions it needs to be calculative when mission-critical customizations are implemented because they can impact the business directly. Also, the APIs connecting with the SaaS ERP could cost the company. However, at the end of it, the organization can benefit from the flexibility offered in functionality and reporting.

If your business is planning a shift to cloud-based ERP then it is important to consider how well your ERP vendor will support the implementation and post-implementation scenario. It is crucial to address questions like will the vendor be competent enough to troubleshoot issues, are they experienced and competent to steer the change in the desired direction, will they be able to support enhancements in the future, and more.
