Today, companies have a variety of deployment options for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions, as with most significant technology advances, there are now more benefits that were not previously available for companies. One of the benefits associated with Cloud ERP deployment is the cost savings associated with reduced maintenance requirements. Most businesses are already using a variety of cloud based applications for day to day processes. The benefit of moving to the cloud is the integration between these databases. Let’s look into the benefits of Cloud ERP with Microsoft’s Azure SQL and how Dynamics NAV 2016 ERP customers can take advantage of moving their business to the cloud.
How Cloud ERP works with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 can be configured to use Azure SQL as a relationship “database-as-a-service”, eliminating maintenance and reducing costs. The Azure SQL Database is a relational database service that works in the cloud, based on the Microsoft SQL Server engine, with built-in, mission-critical capabilities. The Azure SQL database, with its predictable performance, guarantees matching the scale and pace of your business environment. It provides industry-leading 99.99% availability, built-in redundancy, resilience and security features, point-in-time recover, and attractive pricing.
1. Costs Savings:
Bill hourly at a fixed rate, instead of paying for an SQL license upfront; eliminates hardware costs and results in near-zero administrative costs
2. Reduced Administration Requirements:
Built-in support for high availability, automatic backups, data protection, and fault tolerance; the database software is automatically patched and upgraded by Microsoft Azure
3. Achieving Service level agreement (SLA) and Compliance:
Database-level availability SLA of 99.99%; Azure certifications include ISO, HIPAA BAA, and EU Model Clause
4. Business Continuity Planning:
Multiple built-in business continuity features including point-in-time restore, geo-restore, and geo-replication
