ERP transformation with Cloud

Business world is continuously improving in order to make the things easier quicker and cost effective. The cloud technology is also such technological invention which pitched in the IT industry to serve business needs. Businesses are increasingly using cloud solutions to integrate their various systems. ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is becoming a more popular cloud solution for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs).

Cloud-based ERP is an enterprise resource planning software that can be accessed via the Internet. All cloud-based ERP software supports basic business functions. It efficiently automates essential business workflow across multiple industries. Basic functions like finance and accounting, human resource management, marketing, customer relationship management and supply chain management functions are some common functions facilitated through ERP. In general, cloud ERP solutions offer a more efficient approach by allowing businesses to take advantage of vast computing power. Shifting to cloud ERP generally offers lower upfront costs, faster implementation and reduced physical and staff resource usage. There are many benefits and reasons why companies are switching from on-premises to cloud ERP. Some of them are,

Lower costs

The initial cost of implementing cloud ERP software is significantly lower than on-premises systems, which can reduce existing costs and thus avoid the need for large-scale capital.

It not only saves capital costs, but also reduces operating costs by eliminating the need for hardware configuration and software upgrades, system management, and performance management compared to on-premises ERP.

Security

Customer or the ERP user can experience higher security with the cloud technology. The security of cloud-based software is often better than the security of on-premises ERP systems. In addition, ERP cloud servers are located in secure and centralized facilities, reducing the risk of physical theft. Cloud ERPs providers focus a lot of their efforts on avoiding downtime and having robust power backups and fail-safes in place.

Implementation

Cloud solutions can be configured and deployed much faster than on-premises systems. These systems are specifically aimed at creating highly responsive, adaptable, and easy-to-implement solutions.

Improved accessibility, collaboration, and agility

Cloud ERP offers improved accessibility, usability, and mobility Compared to on-premise ERPs. Using cloud-based ERP allows for more corporate agility which means employees can easily access the tools they need from anywhere, anytime via the internet. It also gives access to real-time information and provides insights into the status of all processes and data.

Reduce dependency and free up internal IT teams

Moving to a cloud-based ERP can have a major impact on company’s internal IT team. This is especially useful for small businesses to get the most out of their IT team also companies who do not have an IT sector can run smoothly without making these additional investments.

Scalability

Companies are having varying requirements for handling data. It could be seasonal or periodical. Adding new hardware and networking is a main part of expansion when it comes to on-premises ERP expansion. This is time consuming and costly. But cloud ERP systems are much more flexible hence easy to adopt with the demand and available to increase and decrease the capacity on incremental cost basis.

Access to emerging technology

Technology is rapidly evolving today. With the advancement of technology, the competitiveness of companies has also increased. Advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other technological advancements enable the use of massive volumes of data. They can improve forecasting accuracy, discover hidden insights, improve productivity, and offer innovative products. Cloud ERP allows taking advantage of this prominent technology more efficiently and cost-effectively. The service already includes Artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics, and other business intelligence technologies. This means that businesses can benefit without the physical infrastructure, expenditures, or technical talent that on-premises systems require.

Real-time data

Cloud based ERP provides real-time data better than traditional systems. The possibilities of inaccurate data are reduced when bottlenecks at various software integration points are removed. Hence, the information given is always up to date because the applications and information are hosted in a central cloud location.

Easier customization

Configuring on-premises ERP systems to match the company objectives is more expensive and needs more time and IT resources than cloud-based ERP. This involves integrating the relevant ERP features with third-party applications and performing any necessary software and hardware upgrades.

4Ps of ERP Support

ERPs in the world are yet achieve the level sophistication that either they are so simple or intuitive that any user can use it without any user support. Contrary to utopian dream of plug and play ERPs users of modern ERPs need not periodic but continuous user support keep them afloat in sea of functionality and labyrinth of processes.

We believe that success of any ERP support depends on four main pillars. They are policies, processes, platforms and undeniably the people.

Policies

The organizational level policy on user support plays a pivotal role in shaping the ERP user support landscape of an organization. The policy framework influences the availability of support, expected service levels at each level of support and comparative weightage allocated user support aspect among the total IT activities. 

Processes

Processes define framework within which the user support is executed. The modes available to report and issue, the initial response, degree of processing at the first level support in cases of a multi layered support organization, assigning priority, escalation handling, user feedbacks and anything and everything in support execution is process driven.

Platforms

Support platform is the medium through which users interact with support experts, it is central ledger for all support issues and the tool to trace and track all support issues. Selection of platform is critical as it defines ways and means available for user to report an issue, modes available for content sharing, history tracking and most importantly provide leadership with vital data on process improvements and training need in the organization with intelligent processing of support issues over a period.

People

People on the either side of the aisle, namely the providers of support and receivers of support takes the center stage in any ERP support operation. The experience and expertise of the support professionals on ERP they support, level of understanding on the real business, communication together with empath of them will define the destiny of any support operation.
