Don’t give up the benefits of Cloud ERP

Why go-Cloud

When deciding if you should move your business to cloud, there are 4 strong reasons to consider:

1. Improve security and reliability

Computer security is becoming more complex than ever and costs of breach are growing. Cost of the average data breach to companies worldwide is USD 3.86 million while companies need to defend against ransomware, increased volumes of malware (54-percent growth in 2018) and new forms of attacks, such as cryptojacking attacks.

By moving into the cloud of a trustworthy provider, such as Microsoft, you can be confident. In addition to contractual assurance of 99.9% reliability, Microsoft invests over USD 1 billion each year on security and has access to resources that are simply not available to most companies. These are security capabilities that you can only deliver yourself with significant challenges and costs.

2. Reduce costs

Cloud computing is delivered as a utility, meaning you only pay for what you use when you need it. Instead of investing into hardware, software licenses and maintenance and support services, you can focus on your business.

A Forrester study found that cloud computing reduced TCO by 10.25% and drove 40% administration savings that are the result of eliminated software updates, server backups and archives.

Additional savings are generated by reductions in data centre size (up to 73% reduction) and outsourcing costs (between 33% and 83%).

3. Shift IT to operational expenses

Running your own IT operations has always entailed the challenge of planning for large upfront investments every few years as old equipment needed to be updated or a new project was scheduled to come online.

Cloud computing delivers services on demand and allows businesses to treat computing as an operational expenditure. This makes it easier to plan your expenses and investments while also freeing up your IT team to focus on innovating instead of supporting and maintaining existing investments.

4. Improve agility and flexibility

Improve your operational agility by ensuring that you can add users as your business grows and your needs change. Cloud computing allows you to easily add new users or features, so you can expand your business and enter new markets.

Empower your employees by providing them with integrated and mobile solutions that work on any device. Instead of using point solutions that require them to constantly switch their context, integrated cloud solutions, such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 deliver everything they need in a single environment.

All the maintenance and updating is carried out by the vendor, so you will always have access to the latest version of software.

Other benefits you can expect when moving your business to the cloud: disaster recovery, improved collaboration and mobile support.
