A cloud Enterprise resource planning (ERP) service for accounting and financial management has many benefits over an on-premises one.

Let’s talk about the difference between on-premises and cloud ERPs. With an on-premises ERP, your organization typically owns or leases both the server and computers on which users access the software. Meanwhile, with a cloud ERP, you lease the software from the server’s vendor and access the ERP through a web browser. Typically, your cloud-based ERP will be a Software as a Service (SaaS) product.

So, why does it matter whether you use a cloud ERP or an on-premises one? The key differentiators are cost, integration, scalability, and customization options – all of which are improved when using a cloud-based solution. Here, we’ll talk about why.

Cost

In on-premises solution, your IT team needs to deploy, monitor, and manage your ERP. This requires time and effort, not to mention personnel who may not have the time for an additional responsibility.

In cloud-based solutions, on the other hand, you pay a subscription fee for the hardware and software costs, which your remote vendor will handle entirely. Plus, cloud-based ERPs are usually considered operating expenditures.

Integration

An on-premises ERP can be challenging to integrate into your existing legacy system. If you install it incorrectly, you can cause widespread issues. Cloud ERP teams, in turn, have more experience integrating ERPs into existing systems and can address issues that may arise more immediately.

Scalability

As your number of users grows, you can scale your cloud solution more easily than an on-premises alternative can provide. Cloud solutions typically provide more flexibility as your number of clients and end users grows. With an on-premises solution, you’ll likely need to buy more hardware to meet growing user demand.

Customization Options

The biggest worry that users have in choosing an ERP is customization. Although you can customize your on-premises ERP, you’ll also find that customizing slows down the integration process. In fact, on-premises ERPs can’t provide the real-time data monitoring that cloud ERPs can. Additionally, a cloud ERP team will customize your solution, as well as monitor necessary updates and security patches.
