With the new hi-tech, hi-definition technology-driven world progressing at the rate of a gazillion miles per hour, it is an increasingly difficult issue to stay abreast with the latest technologies and even more, invest in them for your business needs. Your ERP system can be a complex intricacy to understand if you just read about the technology in ads here and there and listen to the highlights of the latest technology webinar from your bosses. So here we are to explain to you about the latest technological advances in SAP, your trusted ERP software system, to help you make the best-educated decisions and invest without any second thoughts according to your business needs.
So, What exactly is SAP Cloud and how can it help my business and simplify my IT infrastructure? If you have this question, you already might be an IT professional, a business owner, an SAP user, or somehow related with the ERP world and obviously know about the ‘Cloud Technology’ era. But just for a short revision, let’s shed some light on what is cloud technology before we get into the SAP cloud. So, in simple terms, cloud computing means that instead of the software and hardware on your desktop, a third-party company provides the users, a service, using their own infrastructure, over the internet in a seamless fashion. So, the basic software, all the required data is stored in their servers and you just access it seamlessly through the internet on your computer to give an experience as if you are running the application on the same computer.
This terminates all costs of securing data backups, time and money investments in cyber security, investments in system upgrades, etc on the user end, making the game extremely simple and worry-free for the user. So, in short, the cloud technology for ERP enables you to have an efficient ERP system to run a business and worry about the business alone, not about the hardware, servers, maintenance, system upgrades, and security issues that take your valuable time away from your business. Cloud-based services such as search engines, web-based mail services like yahoo and Google and even Google documents are some basic daily life services that you use on a regular basis.
Some typical cloud computing jargon you need to know is the classification of cloud-based services such as
- IaaS – infrastructure as a service – Servers & Storage
- SaaS– Software as a service- Applications & Software
- PaaS– Platform as a service – Development platforms
With the advent of cloud technology, gone are the days where you need a temperature and moisture controlled floor, full of servers requiring a complex IT team costing thousands of dollars to maintain and manage them, to run your ERP system. SAP Cloud delivers the most agile, advanced, up-to-date SaaS & PaaS applications to help you get the best of business management software with minimal infrastructure.
