•When considering an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution for a small to midsized enterprise (SME), one of the most important decisions to make is what deployment method to choose: a cloud-based ERP solution or one that’s installed locally. How you deploy your new ERP solution will impact your staff, resources, budget and in the long run, your bottom line. Deploying your solution in the cloud means your company’s ERP software and its associated data will be managed centrally by the solution vendor and accessed via a web browser. When you choose on-premise, your ERP solution is installed locally on your company’s hardware and servers and managed by your own IT staff.

•A leading ERP solution, like SAP, can be deployed either on-premise or in the cloud to integrate core business functions across your entire company
