What’s in the eBook?
To help you navigate your way through cloud hype and facts, you need a roadmap. This eBook provides an easy-to-understand path that cuts straight to the heart of the matter. After reading these 7 informative chapters on key cloud topics, you’ll be able to determine if your company’s destination is in the cloud.
The chapters include topics such as:
- Compliance
One major challenge that all SMBs face lies in the evolving compliance landscape. To stay competitive, growing organizations need a way to reduce their compliance risks and costs – without overburdening their workloads.
The technology inherent in cloud ERP is perfectly positioned to make compliance tasks effortless and error-free.
- Data protection
We don’t need to tell you how critical it is for you to maintain the safety of your data. Your reputation and consumer confidence levels rely on the detailed attention you pay to data security – which means that maintaining a high level of data protection is now a non-negotiable for modern organizations.
In the past, many business leaders questioned the security of the cloud, but years of data has shown that cloud-based ERP is, by far, more secure than most on-premises ERP solutions.
- Customer experience (CX)
Your modern customers won’t stand for information bottlenecks, departmental siloes, or miscommunication errors and delays. Customers expect a seamless end-to-end experience from every business they work with, whether that business is a small wholesale distribution operation, or Amazon.
From the eBook: “As the cost of technology continues to fall, the expectations placed on businesses, regardless of their size, continues to grow. It is now expected that, regardless of your organization’s size, you will have the same capabilities as the largest and most successful companies in your industry.”
- Revenue-building insight
All the business advice out there has said, for years, that companies of all sizes need to collect customer data in order to optimize their sales processes. Unfortunately, the majority of small businesses have dutifully collected data – but they don’t have the big-business tools or resources to use that data productively.
ERP in the cloud provides access to useful data, not just collected data, using machine learning and analytics technologies that help you truly understand customer trends and revenue-building opportunities.
- Data-driven decision making
“Connected business” is a buzzword these days, but it means more than simply connecting your company to the cloud. More importantly, it refers to connecting all parts of your organization so you can gain the holistic view you need to optimize your operations.
Competitive business decisions today are based on real-time, centralized data. You’ll want to consider if this is important to your company because organizations often experience difficulties achieving this level of insight with legacy systems.
- Mobility and remote work
Fact: Everything in the modern world is mobile – and our “on the go” world has created certain expectations your company must navigate. From your employees to your customers, everyone you work with expects effortless mobility. Can you, or should you, provide this?
Mobility and cloud ERP go hand in hand. In fact, seamless mobility is what drove the popularity of today’s multitude of cloud solutions and services.
- Automation and workflow
We’ve all been told throughout our lives that “mistakes happen.” This is true – but it’s also dangerous in a fast-paced business environment. In the business world, mistakes can cost your company customers, profits, and reputation. Can you afford that?
The cloud provides time-saving and accurate automation and workflows for greater productivity and higher levels of customer satisfaction, which some companies benefit greatly from.
Is the Time Right for Cloud ERP at Your Organization?

Clearly, for your competitors to have made that choice, they first determined that their customers demanded the modern services that only the cloud can provide. Are cloud services important to your customer base?
As you read through the eBook and assess its included examples and details, think carefully about who your business customers are and how relevant these tools and solutions would be to them.
