Are you in the stone age with your business? 

If you are, you are not alone, and it is ok. But 2020 is right around the corner and you need to think about transforming your business to the modern age. Sure, cloud computing can cut costs and boost efficiency, but that’s not all. It’s changing business as we know it. Learn why it’s time to reframe your thoughts on the modern cloud. 

What does the modern cloud look like? 

It is taking your servers and your IT Infrastructure to the 20th century. It is taking your accounting software from in the office to in the cloud. We all know about the cloud, we all know we need to move to the cloud, and it is easier than you think. 

There is no longer a need for physical hardware or a need to buy expensive servers. There is no longer a high maintenance cost for that IT infrastructure or a time-consuming process for upgrades. Because all of this is maintained in your environment in the cloud. This means less headaches and more productivity. 

You are using the cloud already 

Do you bank, listen to music, or watch movies online? These online services make our lives easier and we have access to everything at our fingertips.  

Just think of that at a larger scale for your business. You will have access to your accounting system anywhere, anytime. Which means you are no longer tied to the office. Now that could be a good or bad thing.  

One Cloud, One Monthly Fee 

It’s the end of the lofty annual renewal fee. Just think, for one monthly fee you get everything! The enhancements, upgrades, support, all are included. It is scalable and will grow as you grow. Adding users? No problem and no extra fee! 

Increased Productivity 

Now you get a 360 view of your business. With CRM functionality, you can get up to date information on customer orders and manage customer relationships more closely. Information and statistics are at your fingertips with customized, real-time reports. View data and get insights all on your mobile device. Ultimately, this improves visibility, impacts collaboration, and enables efficiency and agility.  

It’s Time

It’s time to have everything at your fingertips whether you are in the office or working remotely. Transitioning to the cloud can be a seamless and painless process because you get rid of the long, costly implementation process of moving to a new system.   

It’s time to move to the cloud to leverage new functionality, lower operating costs, improve scalability and speed, and easily adapt to business changes. 

Any of the above benefits should be enough to convince any business to move to the cloud. The choice is yours. But the point is, all those things you want to do to grow your business that you don’t think you have time for? With a cloud-based ERP, be prepared to have more time on your hands.
