‘How to use a cloud-based enterprise resource program (ERP) to streamline and grow your business’:
Everyone is talking about cloud computing these days and with Steve Jobs announcing the new iCloud service for Apple users recently, it’s high time you got with the program and found out what it’s all about. Cloud based Enterprise Resource Program (ERP) solutions are growing nearly three times faster than traditional on-premise applications. This represents the next technology wave for small to medium business organisations. Cloud based ERP applications offer significant cost-saving benefits when compared to traditional ERP systems, and can deliver added productivity benefits that are hard to achieve using a traditional approach. However, you do need to know what you are looking for in order to gain a clear understanding of the benefits and pitfalls.
In Herman’s presentation, you will learn:
- How to eliminate the main problem that stops most businesses from moving to the next stage of growth and profitability
- Why you need a cloud strategy and how to turn it into a competitive advantage for your business
- What you need to know to selecting an effective Cloud ERP solution
