Understanding Cloud ERP

In cloud ERP, users can access critical financial and operational information over the internet as well as automate business processes. In an integrated ERP system, inventory and order management, human resources, and customer relationship management are all managed together. Cloud ERP technology uses shared databases to provide access to the same data across different groups within an organization. This enables the organization to manage business processes and information more effectively, as well as improve collaboration across departments. A cloud ERP solution can reduce upfront costs for all computing infrastructure and software licenses, minimize maintenance and support costs, enable deployment faster, and allow access to business data from anywhere with an Internet connection.

An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system can be used in many ways in an organization, from accounting to procurement, project management, risk management, compliance, and supply chain management.

What makes NetSuite ERP so special?

Here are a few reasons to choose Oracle NetSuite

  • An integrated business views

An integrated business view

NetSuite is a comprehensive business management platform that enables companies to run their entire operations on one platform. It combines finance, supply chain, manufacturing, HR, and e-commerce under one system with a single database, so employees don't need to use separate software packages to monitor different aspects of their businesses.

Integrated Business Intelligence (BI)

A single source of knowledge is maintained by all NetSuite applications, which feed information into and draw information from the central database. This unified architecture facilitates faster time-to-productivity by eliminating the need for third-party integrations that may not be reliable or cannot support real-time updates. The common user interface is also shared across all modules, reducing training time. It also includes multi-step processes such as order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and others that can be initiated from one application without having to re-enter or export data.

Fully cloud-based ERP

NetSuite was built and born in the cloud. Most "cloud" ERP systems are actually hosted or hybrid clouds - essentially on-premises applications retrofitted for access over the Internet. In addition, these systems suffer from many of the same issues as traditional systems, including version lock-in, a long upgrade time, and scalability issues.

Built-in flexibility and simplicity

NetSuite has an impressive set of features, making it ideal for use in a variety of industries. Whether you're a multinational with many subsidiaries or a startup building your first product, the platform can be tailored to fit your processes and corporate structure.
