Whether you’re a small or mid-sized business with an out-dated on-premise solution that may not be providing the flexibility you need, or your growing startup is feeling the pain of multiple systems and duplicate data, you should be considering cloud ERP as an option.

Let’s face it, today, for the average user, banking, shopping and conducting business on the internet is second nature. The software industry is responding to these changes and is increasingly making software available on a cloud basis.
