Current business dynamics are bringing the CEO and the Cloud ERP together.It is a relationship that neither can ignore in the future.<\/p>\n
Large companies have always enjoyed throwing their weight around and tilting the rules of business in their favor by dominating their markets. However, this is changing due to the egalitarian nature of the Internet and cloud technology.<\/p>\n
SMB\u2019s are now discovering the power of cloud ERP solutions that were previously affordable only for large companies with deep pockets. Cloud ERP is now enabling them to compete with comparable process efficiency, scalability options and integration throughout the organization\u2019s business functions at costs that they can afford.<\/p>\n
Junking additional infrastructure requirements, real-time reporting, access on the go, affordable plans, automatic updates\/backup\/security options with top of the line functionality options are some of the reasons why cloud computing has grown almost exponentially as a viable ERP option.<\/p>\n
WHAT DOES THE CEO NEED?<\/strong><\/p>\n CEO\u2019s of companies that made the move to the cloud say they\u2019re reaping the benefits of standardization, innovation, and efficiency as the platform drives standardization of finance processes throughout the business. With this they can avoid the hassles associated with customization needs of on-premise ERP solutions that have huge coding challenges with associated additional costs.<\/p>\n Cloud solution vendors typically upgrade the software every six months or so ensuring that you have the updated solution always and there is minimal loss of uptime due to upgrades. Cloud solution vendors charge by the user or revenue, so organizations can easily scale up or down as per need. The Total Cost of Ownership is thus lower in a cloud solution.<\/p>\n The flexible & affordable payment options and the easy to use nature of the cloud ERP makes it easier on the pocket with lower setup times than other solutions. Virtually all business operations anywhere can be covered with real time data and insights with a cloud solution including employees in the field.<\/p>\n The data security competence of reputed cloud vendors is far superior to what companies using on-premise solutions can provide for themselves as their budgets cannot compare with the billion dollar security budgets and the top of the line intellectual capital used by cloud environment providers like Amazon Web Services etc.<\/p>\n Cloud environment providers also actively have monitoring protocol and systems in place to prevent a data or security breach on a war footing because it will adversely set back their reputation and future adoption of cloud solutions. They have the best brains working proactively around the clock to prevent a breach or a security threat.<\/p>\n When operating systems move to the cloud, typical activities of IT like managing servers and infrastructure and patching and upgrading software are not required as they are provided by cloud vendors. The IT team can be redeployed to develop enhanced capabilities with the new cloud software. The firm can now pay on a per-user subscription model that is far more affordable rather than a software license model which needs large capital outlays. Also report generation and data is available in real time with accurate financial reports with a few clicks in a cloud ERP. There is no navigation between standalone solutions, porting data, rekeying of data and duplication of effort.<\/p>\n There is far better decision making with more accurate data and reports that are relevant in real time and a better view of the entire operations of the enterprise across business functions so that contingencies can be tackled proactively.<\/p>\n As CEOs talk about how to improve their capability for transparency, visibility, response times, accuracy and analytical insights, they could be referring unconsciously to the capability of the cloud.<\/p>\n KPMG U.S. C.E.O OUTLOOK 2017 SURVEY<\/strong><\/p>\n KPMG undertook a U.S. C.E.O Outlook 2017 survey- \u201cDisrupt and grow\u201d.
