About

Many enterprises are moving portions of their computing infrastructure to the public cloud because public cloud services are elastic and readily scalable, flexibly adjusting to meet changing workload demands. Others are attracted by the promise of greater efficiency and fewer wasted resources since customers pay only for what they use. Still others seek to reduce spending on hardware and on-premises infrastructures. One of the fundamental decisions to make before investing in enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is whether to implement it in the cloud or on-premises. Each offers different benefits and pitfalls, so it comes down to what you need and how much you want to spend.
