ERP Software Deployment
It’s been said that the most arduous part of implementing an ERP system is in the actual selection of the system but, regardless of the system you finally choose, you’ll also be faced with deciding how the system will be deployed. Trending terms regarding ERP Software deployment include industry jargon such as Cloud, Software as a Service (or Saas), Infrastructure as a Service (or IaaS), Hosting and even Managed Services. These all add up to similar offerings, but with significant differences. You will need to understand the different options in order to make the right decision for your needs.
Traditionally, organisations implementing systems for the first time have faced hefty upfront infrastructure costs. Today, however, technology allows for infrastructure to be outsourced. This means that your software applications, data and resources reside on servers that are hosted and managed elsewhere. You then connect to your system using the Internet.
Understanding the pros and cons of in-house vs outsourced will go a long way to helping you make an informed decision.
