If you are considering moving to a cloud ERP software solution, you are not alone.  There is a trend of more and more companies that are realizing there are real benefits to making the switch from on-premise ERP systems to cloud ERP software.

However, once a company gets more involved the ERP selection process it becomes clear the deployment method (on-premis or cloud) can have significant effects of what solution they choose.  If you are considering upgrading your outdated or ineffective ERP solution, these are the most popular reason for moving to the cloud:
