Deciding to make the switch to a fully integrated ERP system as a wholesale distribution company?—?whether you’re transitioning from existing software or manual processes?—?requires a lot of time and resources. It also involves making a choice between implementing a system on-premises or hosted through the cloud. So which method is better suited for your business? Although there is no single right answer to this question, there are certain elements that could make a strong case in favour of a cloud solution. Companies are increasingly opting for this method from the get-go, and others are switching from their current on-premises installation. To better understand why and when it would make sense for your company to seriously evaluate hosting software through the cloud, let’s first take a look at exactly what we mean by each implementation method. Historically the only option available to companies looking for wholesale ERP software was On-premises software was which made it more feasible for larger companies. On-premises refers to software applications installed on-location on a client owned server. This requires up-to-date hardware and either internal or outsourced personnel for IT management. It also requires a bit of a larger initial investment when it comes to cost as companies buy the software licenses outright. Cloud software, which is sometimes referred to as hosted or SaaS, has gained in popularity over the past couple of years and provides a viable option for smaller companies. With cloud software, the information is physically stored off-premises at the vendors’ data centre and accessed via the cloud (or internet). Users may for example access the software through an RDP connection installed on their local machine which communicates with the servers off-site. With this method, license fees are broken down and paid for on a monthly basis and server/hardware management and IT maintenance are the responsibility of the vendor. Several factors influence which solution would be best for a company, such as; company size, infrastructure, available staff, number of users and budget, but the cloud solution may offer various benefits over on-premises, such as:
Given the above examples, there are also certain times in a wholesale company’s life cycle, which would make the transition to cloud software easier and more appropriate. It is often when a company starts experiencing specific issues that they begin the search for a new software solution and spend the time learning about cloud based implementations. So when do we start evaluating cloud systems?
Though some companies will still benefit from an on-premises based ERP solution, as discussed above, there are several reasons why making the switch to a cloud based solution might benefit your business. According to a Gartner survey, 47% of organizations plan to move their core ERP systems to the cloud within 5 years. Cloud options have made ERP viable for smaller companies with fewer resources, allowing them to take advantage of features and functionality once only available to much larger companies. Whatever your decision, make sure you spend the time to learn about your options and accurately compare them based on all factors and not just costs.
