We would like to allow our clients (owners and tenants) to be able to access their individual information so I am understanding that the cloud base is the way to goes. Also security is important. Is there an add on that you recommend. For and example employee limited access. As for where did I hear about cloud base may not be here in the future? I read an article that said something about if you use an cloud base vendor and the company folds, you would be lost. I will try and find that article and send it your way. D.Johnson-

This means that you get the benefits of both web-based software and cloud scalability in one package. When you speak with a software vendor (contact me www.erpcloudnews.com/contact-us, if you want a list of potential vendors) make sure you ask if any client software is required. If client software is required, then you will not get all the benefits of web-based software. re: Future of Cloud I would love to know who told you that the cloud may not be here in the future. Please provide any details you have. I think just the opposite - that the cloud is here to stay. Sandra –

re: Future of Cloud
I would love to know who told you that the cloud may not be here in the future. Please provide any details you have. I think just the opposite – that the cloud is here to stay.

We plan on growing quickly and I am not sure if the cloud or web base would be better. I read somewhere that the cloud may not be available in the future. But now I am hearing that the cloud it is the way to go. Please help me with an easy solution that would be less expensive for start up and capability to grow with out a lot of upgrading expenses.

If flexibility (especially in functionality) is key to the buyer, the SAAS offering will be the most restrictive.

Previously, I discussed some of the hard realities customers have to manage as part of a Cloud ERP solution. However, these challenges should not deter customers from looking at a Cloud ERP deployment model. There are broad advantages for Cloud ERP including incremental scalability and smaller start-up investment. I would like to speak to some of the less known advantages that a cloud model can provide to ERP customers. http://gbeaubouef.wordpress.com/2011/11/23/cloud-erp-advantage/ Thank you for the blog article.
