What does "Cloud ERP" mean to Business Owner?

What is Cloud ERP?
Cloud ERP is the newest way to access your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) over internet, allowing you to scale your traditional software business with help of Cloud computing platform and technology that allows business to be more flexible in their transformation.

ERP for Small and medium business meant they had the capability to integrate their business operations of selling, purchasing, inventory management, warehouse, customer relationship all within same umbrella and be able to compete with big companies.

Small and Medium business were limited to what they could purchase in terms of license from ERP vendors, they could only purchase few blocks of user licensing and as their Company grows they could add more users, they would purchase more based on their business growth.

As we evolved with internet technologies Cloud computing has become eminent and more Companies have started to roll out their version of the software as a service instead of traditional licensing.

Cloud ERP makes it easier for ERP vendors to develop and build robust software and sell it as part of service (SaaS) and keep the cost of operating expenses lower when compared to hardware, software and maintenance cost of running client-server ERP solution.

Cloud ERP will re-ignite how people do their business and how vendors tie their applications more and more via RESTful web services thus eliminating the nature of Client-Server concept which has been around for last 25 yrs.

Cloud ERP will allow the same information to be accessed anywhere and from any internet enabled device such as PC's, Smart phone, tablets, and other devices that we are going to use part of workforce.
