ERP = Enterprise Resource Planning. These are systems to manage business processes and report on differnt processes. They are usually modular systems to allow users to select which functions to implement based on thier requirements.

Cloud Computing stands for using computer systems which are not installed on your local network. You may also choose to store your data in the cloud (off your local network).

Retail Management System are the systems used to automate and control retial processes such Point Of Sales and Supply Chain Management. These systems also use bar code and RFID tags more than other computer systems. These are the systems you use at your supermarket cahiers.

SaaS = System as a service. this was the first model for Cloud Computing. These systems are not installed on your local network and you usually pay for your usage of such systems.

IaaS = Infrastructure as a Service. This is where the data network, servers, & data storage are not owned by your self and you pay for your usage.

PaaS = Platform as a Service. This is another name for IaaS but mainly used for rented servers and data storage.

Security Solutions are the solutions to protect from virusses, hacking, & data theaft.

E RP stands for enterprise resource planning. It is a software used  by the owner to optimize the co resources  towards the goal which could mean capturing  the market, increasing sales, increasing revenue etc. If we follow erp  there  are no un and underutilized resources.

Cloud computing could be owned cloud or hybrid. Here instead of a server doing your job we have a cloud.  The user may not be aware of the location of the cloud.

Retail management system is all about how to manage or how to hold on to retail customers so that they do not go anywhere else

Saas is about taking your business to the cloud.                 Cloud service brokers, which function as intermediaries between cloud providers and enterprises, help strengthen the relationships providers have with customers by offering consulting and integration services for them.          

As customers expand their use of the cloud beyond testing and development, many are expecting more of a plug-and-play feel with cloud services.              

For organizations that have always deployed applications in-house and are new to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS),

Security solutons- So that the firms feel secure giving  the job to an unknown cloud.
