Absolutely. Some ERP software solutions, such as Epicor Kinetic and P21, offer ERP implementation in Software as a Service (SaaS) mode. A SaaS ERP system is fully hosted in the cloud and managed by your service provider.

Epicor goes even further, offering tailor-made ERP solutions deployed in different modes to accommodate the varied needs of their customers.

Cloud ERP software is not the only option offered by Epicor. In fact, Epicor is a company offering solutions that meet all the needs of the manufacturing industry. Even companies with complex standards and regulations can benefit from implementing an Epicor system.

Let’s take a look at the three types of solutions available on the market.

Cloud computing is becoming increasingly popular with manufacturers, and for good reason. Flexibility, mobility and cost savings are just some of the benefits of cloud ERP software.

Imagine being able to reduce the workload on your human resources so they can focus their efforts where they’ll have the most impact. By choosing SaaS ERP solutions, your cloud services provider takes care of the implementation and upgrades for you.

Your company benefits from:

• Increased productivity
• Lower costs
• Continuous updating of your system
• A competitive edge in modern technology and ERP systems

Furthermore, Epicor’s cloud-based software solutions are scalable. As your business develops, Epicor systems support your growth. All you need to do is choose a partner you can trust to ensure the smooth development of your solution.

The main difference between cloud and on-premise systems lies in the cloud type. A cloud system is a public cloud managed by your service provider, while an on-premise system is a private cloud. Each of these systems has its benefits and drawbacks.

When companies must choose between cloud and on-premise ERP, it’s mainly for reasons of data storage security and regulations. With on-premise, your big data is located on the company’s operating systems.

It’s more secure, but the responsibility for protecting the sensitive data rests entirely on your organization’s shoulders. As for the cloud system, the burden is shared between you and the service provider.

There’s also a third option, called the hybrid cloud system, where you host the ERP locally and partly in the cloud. This option is more complex to implement but is still possible with Epicor.

Please get in touch with our ERP specialists if you have any questions about Epicor ERP cloud-based solutions or would like a consultation. They’ll put their knowledge at your disposal and help you make the right choice to ensure successful business development.
