We’re excited to announce a new educational video now available for IT personnel and executives navigating ERP decisions.
Cloud ERP . . . What Is It Really? What Are Buyer’s Options?
Presented by industry expert Mark Engleman, this concise video leverages insights from over 1,000 ERP projects since 1996 to clarify the concept of Cloud ERP and outline the diverse access options available to buyers.
The video defines Cloud ERP as ERP accessed via a browser, typically freeing buyers from managing application infrastructure, servers, or technical details. While this turnkey model appears straightforward, the video emphasizes critical details that empower buyers to control access and manage costs effectively over time. It presents a framework for evaluating options, including:
- Management responsibility (vendor, managed service provider, or buyer).
- Physical location of the ERP (data center determined by buyer or buyer’s site).
- Cost structures (subscription or perpetual license) and pricing terms.
- Commercial terms to avoid restrictive vendor-driven agreements.
These considerations enable buyers to tailor Cloud ERP deployments to their needs while gaining proper physical and financial controls.
