It offers you flexibility  cloud-based services are ideal for businesses with growing or fluctuating bandwidth demands. Cloud computing cuts out the high cost of hardware. You simply pay as you go. With cloud computing, if you’ve got an internet connection you can be working from anywhere. Cloud computing gives you greater security when your assets get stolen.

Yes.. It adds flexibility, frugality, agility in execution. Important thing it is risk free since roll backs possible in event of changes required or project failure without much cost impact.

Yes, for multiple reasons:

  • A cloud based ERP and/or resources means easy access anywhere anytime.
  • The need for physical storage will optional than it is a necessity
  • For a new company or establishment, managing and maintaining a cloud based ERP is virtually low cost
  • Security wise, choosing a good cloud-based provider will guarantee you safety of your data on the long run

ofcource it has its.. let us not say negative, but more of a "alternatives" of what it lacks: it will be kind of high, one-time cost for companies with already multi-database established, and you might find the "human factor" of rejecting the idea, even though its binefitial in the long run.

Yes, I recommend to move IT resources on cloud. We works locally and our data save on a local disk. Also we install central server to store data. But, in case of any link down issue, you will face lots of unavailability problems. If your data on cloud, then you can access your data anytime and anywhere. So, this is important to store your data on safe place to access on time and safely. Before moving IT resources, make sure the cloud company should be trust worth and security prier.

Applications running on the cloud take advantage of the flexibility of the computing power available. The computers are set up to work together so that it appears as if the applications were running on one particular machine.
