  • Reducing costs - Cloud-based solutions can reduce IT outlays, including infrastructure, maintenance, and life cycle costs, especially in comparison to the high costs associated with older, on-premise ERP systems.
  • Scalability - Cloud-based systems can be measured with developing project workloads, a demanding requirement for manufacturing firms. Software and hardware requirements are also expansible in cloud.
  • Data storage - The cloud is ideal for storing, executing and accessing large amounts of data. This ability to access "big data" is one of the driving forces behind the growth in cloud-based software.
  • Greater visibility- we see faster innovation, improved productivity, and efficiencies through integrated business processes and, much recently, mobile assimilation, which allows employees to access data and transform it into smarter decisions from any device.
