We are in the midst of a radical change in technology preferences. Businesses are changing how they engage with customers, the speed at which they deliver products and services and how they innovate. Choosing to upgrade or purchase cloud-based ERP technology is a necessary step for growing your business in today’s competitive market. This week we’ve compiled of the must-read articles on the benefits of cloud-based ERP technology – and why you should consider moving to the cloud.
Spending on enterprise software, particularly cloud services and applications, is expected to grow faster than any other category of IT this year. According to Gartner, spending on enterprise software is expected to jump 8.5% this year; this includes ERP, SCM, CRM, open-source, on-premises and cloud software. Within this category, cloud computing infrastructure and applications account for most of the spending – up 17.5% from 2018.
“The fact that were going to cloud is more about agility, getting the feature functionality you need at the speed you need it. Digital business runs at a much faster speed than [bricks and mortar] business; hyperscale data centers are the only things that can support the speed of digital business, the cooperation required in digital business – it’s very difficult to do that on-premises.”
