There are a number of things an ERP customer must consider when making a decision on whether to go with a Cloud Based solution or and on-premise solution. We all know the benefits of the Cloud including accessibility, Scalability and security etc. There are however other questions, which must be answered before you make a decision.

Is it truly scalable?

One true benefit of the Cloud is scalability. Private Cloud models can be scaled up or down nearly instantly where as an on premise solution would require a lot more time and capital if your business was to grow quickly.

Is the solution accessible?

Some cloud vendors require their customers to install VPN software which will reduce accessibility, a private cloud offering brings the needed security to be able to access your ERP package over any Internet connection without.

Does it work with other Business critical applications?

Your Private Cloud solution can be tailored to provide an API that fully integrates with all your other business applications. Our offering is not multi-tenant so your environment is fully customisable.

Who owns your Data?

You will always on your own data. If for any reason you move to a different cloud provider or back to an on-premise solution your data will be securely returned to you at your easiest convenience

Is a cloud ERP system too big for a small company?

Cloud based solutions work extremely well for SME’s and startups due to the TCO and IT outsourcing benefits. Larger companies will also benefit, due to flexibility & scalability features.

What happens to my IT people? Moving to the cloud need not make IT staff members redundant. In fact in most cases it frees these people up to attend to other pressing hardware and software issues.

What should I look for in a cloud-based ERP vendor?

It is important that your Cloud vendor has a strong knowledge of the ERP application it is planning on hosting. A strong relationship between your ERP & Cloud provider is a must.

Is cloud-based ERP system secure? We ensure all data encryption and security protocols meet and/or exceed those required. Our Tier 3 data centre also holds a number of ISO certifications.

The Rossetta Flash tool converts any SWF file to one composed only of alphanumeric characters which can then be used to abused to make hacked machines perform server requests. Essentially meaning users sensitive data is potentially at risk

Essentially this means potentially sensitive data can be extracted from machines.

The new network will potentially provide businesses with speeds of up to 200Mbps, meaning Ireland will rank highly in the world’s fastest broadband countries. Ireland will also become the first European country to use their existing electricity infrastructure to deploy fibre broadband directly to the consumer.

The network will be will be created on the ESB’s existing overhead and underground infrastructure. However this is subject to approval from the European Commission. If successful the network will be rolled-out across Ireland in the coming months.

Increased access to high quality broadband nationwide means Irish SME’s will now easily be able to leverage internet based technologies such as cloud computing.

Two main themes, which underpinned the whole event, were SAP HANA and SAP B1 in the Cloud.  It was a great opportunity for Jonathan & MyCloud to ensure we are educated on all the latest SAP innovations.

Successfully hosting SAP B1 in the cloud we find it essential to gain firsthand knowledge and experience working with the latest SAP technologies and there is no better place to do so than at the innovation summit.

 Speaking to SAP experts and other partners allows us to fully understand the application and the direction SAP are taking with HANA.

Jonathan found the event extremely successful and is already looking forward to next years Innovation summit.
