What is Cloud ERP? Benefits vs On-Premise

Cloud ERP is an ERP delivered over the internet on hosted (cloud) infrastructure, rather than on servers you own and run on-site (on-premise).

Cloud ERP reduces upfront hardware cost, scales on demand, is accessible from anywhere, and shifts maintenance and backups to the provider — while on-premise offers maximum control and local data residency. Many regional firms choose cloud or hybrid for agility.

SBS deploys cloud, on-premise and hybrid ERP (Odoo, Dynamics 365) and advises on the right model for your compliance, data-residency and budget needs.
