BENEFITS OF CLOUD BASED SCHOOL ERP
In today’s highly competitive educational landscape, most schools are opting for ERP solutions to streamline and organize data that is spread across its multiple departments. While some ERP solutions require on-premise infrastructure, others are Cloud-based and use SaaS (Software as a Service) for deployment of ERP.
Traditional ERP solutions are often housed within the school’s premises and require regular updates to stay abreast of the times. On the other hand, Cloud-based ERP relies on the cloud rather than proprietary server infrastructure to help educational institutions share information across various departments and with its multiple stakeholders. They run on shared computing resources that are maintained in remote data centers and can be accessed via the Internet.
If we talk about functions, the main difference between Cloud ERP and on-premise ERP is the physical location of the software and servers. Both traditional and Cloud ERP provide the same functionality. While on-premise ERP solutions typically require a large upfront payment for hardware, infrastructure and licenses, Cloud-based ERP usually comes as a flexible subscription plan that may be paid monthly, quarterly, or annually.
Listed below are some of the main advantages of the Cloud-based ERP as compared to traditional on-premise ERP solutions.
- Saves upfront costs related to infrastructure such as hardware and data servers
- Reduces need for IT staff as support is provided by ERP service provider
