Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central - Benefits of an ERP in the Cloud

Having an ERP in the cloud eliminates the need to invest in and maintain your in-house servers, giving you the flexibility to easily add or remove hosting capacity. More security, lower costs, and a wider range of capabilities that support your business are some of the advantages of this solution. Learn about the benefits of choosing a cloud-hosted ERP and why you should consider the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central business management solution.
 

Why choose ERP in the Cloud?

 

• Better security and reliability

IT security is increasingly complex and businesses need to defend themselves against possible attacks. By switching to a Cloud ERP, such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can count on more security, as there is a greater investment in your protection. 
 

• Affordable

The cloud version of an ERP is cheaper and thus accessible to more companies. When running in the cloud, there is no need for additional infrastructure, so IT costs are lower and there are also no additional maintenance or upgrade costs as with on-premise solutions. 
 

• Transfer IT to operational expenses

Managing your IT means planning for major investments from time to time, such as when equipment needs to be upgraded or a new project is scheduled to go live. 
Cloud hosting allows you to customize services on-demand, so companies treat computing as an operational expense. This makes it easier to plan your expenses and investments, while your IT team is free to focus on innovation, rather than supporting and maintaining existing investments.
 

• Better agility and flexibility  

A cloud ERP allows for complete customization to fully meet your business requirements. In addition, you don't need to keep switching solutions if your context changes, as cloud-integrated management solutions, provide everything you need in one place. You don't have to worry about updates, as the provider does them for you, so you always have access to the latest version. ERP Business Central centralizes in a single application all information and data related to sales, services, finance, operations, inventory management, and human resources.
