Why go cloudThe move to cloud technology has made ERP even more valuable and accessible for end users and businesses. The cloud allows users to access the system from any laptop or computer, regardless of their location. This shift also brings significant benefits in terms of cost savings, data security, and backups, alleviating concerns for IT managers and system administrators.
For instance, if a virus or technical issue occurs with a laptop or desktop computer that has on-premise software installed, it can impede data integrity and disrupt business operations. However, with cloud technology, these risks are eliminated. Critical data is no longer at risk of being lost or damaged. If one laptop experiences a breakdown, users can easily switch to another device and continue accessing the system without any hassle.
