Cloud ERP vs. On-Prem ERP
Cloud ERP solutions and on-premise ERP systems have a few key differences, the main one being maintenance. Businesses with On-prem ERP generally maintain software and hardware and incur costs supporting core infrastructure. Cloud-based ERPs are agile systems that let you focus on your needs, instead of administrative functions.
Those who use on-prem ERP systems almost certainly need to purchase or outsource servers, operating systems and databases, and pay for IT professionals to take care of the upkeep. This includes updates, antivirus software needs, and additional backup. In contrast, cloud-based ERP systems entail an effortless software update process and require little IT involvement from your teams.
At Cre8tive Technology & Design, we can help you refocus on your business production, removing the need for extensive oversight. Epicor is not only efficient (guaranteed 99.5% uptime), but its infrastructure is also extremely secure.
