Key Information
What does Cloud Computing mean?
At its heart, cloud computing involves using a network of remote servers to store, manage and process data which is then delivered via the internet. In simple terms, this means users access information and other services that are held remotely, rather than on an individual’s hard drive or a company’s in-house server.
Hosted Cloud And True Cloud Software
Over the years, ‘the cloud’ has become an umbrella term used to describe any software that is delivered via the internet, but just because a solution is utilising cloud technology, this doesn’t mean it is what we would describe as ‘true cloud’.
True cloud solutions were designed and built from the ground up to be delivered via the internet. Hosted cloud software was typically built to be on-premise, but it has been reworked to be delivered online.
True Cloud Solutions
- Are designed and built for the age of the internet; they are accessed via, and work seamlessly on, all browsers and devices.
- Are built to cope with large numbers of users with no drop-off in performance.
- Are multi-tenanted; which means resources, such as processing power and memory, are shared across many users which spreads the cost and delivers a high level of performance.
- Are more flexible and scalable than hosted solutions
Hosted Solutions
- Were typically designed to be on-premise.
- Are difficult to upgrade and scale – companies can suffer from ‘version-lock’ and be limited to a certain number of users.
- Are typically ‘single tenancy’, which means they may be vulnerable to downtime and struggle to cope with periods of high demand.
- Are not as flexible or customisable as true cloud solutions.
Why Should You Consider A ‘True’ Cloud Solution?
- Continue working anywhere, anytime on any device.
- No upfront investment in servers or related hardware.
- No hosting costs.
- No server to maintain so no unforeseen future cost to the business.
- No upfront investment in software licenses that you might not need straight away.
- Subscription-based pricing is predictable and ideal for budgeting.
- Flexible and customisable – tailor it specifically to your business needs.
- Scalable – add more users or functionality as and when required, without server or hosted server re-architecture.
- Easier collaboration between different locations or departments – everyone works on the same documents.
- Always up-to-date software – as part of your subscription, all updates and security patches are applied automatically.
- No hidden upgrade costs.
- Keep your data secure – reputable cloud providers have the time and resources to make sure your data is protected by the best defences in the industry.
When it comes to choosing a cloud solution for your business, the most future-proof option is true cloud. Real agility is company specific and needs the option to customise services to suit specific needs as and when required – it is only true cloud solutions that can deliver this level of flexibility.
What is Cloud ERP?
Access Anywhere, Any Time, Any Device
Cloud ERP is accessed via an internet browser, which enables your employees to easily view and record data on the system from wherever they are working that day, provided they have an internet-enabled device and an internet connection. Employees working remotely have exactly the same access as those employees in the office – gone are the days of VPN connections providing slow and limited remote access to your data.
