This document compares SaaS ERP and cloud ERP systems. It defines ERP as software that connects different computer systems within a large organization for improved visibility and decision making. It discusses pros and cons of both SaaS ERP (lower costs but less customization) and cloud ERP (easy access, scalability, but dependency on internet). The document recommends cloud ERP for most businesses due to rapid implementation, flexibility, security, and ability to streamline operations. It also describes NetSuite as a leading cloud ERP and offers to help with NetSuite implementation and customization.

3. What is an ERP?
You can think of an enterprise resource planning system as
the glue that binds together the different computer
systems for a large organization. Without an ERP
application, each department would have its system
optimized for its specific tasks. With ERP software, each
department still has its system, but all of the systems can
be accessed through one application with one interface.

4. How can ERP help businesses?
• ERP systems enable businesses to have greater insight and visibility into their supply
chain operations.
• Access to this key information allows them to make critical business decisions.
• Can help businesses become more time efficient and improve productivity by
eliminating duplication and manual entry.
• ERP vendors can maintain close ties to the industries they serve, and respond quickly
to the emerging needs of their customers.

5. Which ERP is better:
Saas or Cloud?
Any business with more than a few employees benefits from a
tighter connection between its operational and financial data and
functions. And the more automated those links, the better. That’s
the simple idea behind enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
Selecting and successfully implementing an ERP, however, is often not so simple. It can be a complicated and confusing process for many businesses, starting with the question of whether to use
on-premises, software-as-a-service (SaaS) or cloud ERP.

6. Let's dive in to
the details
NetSuite was built for the
cloud and serves small to
midsize businesses across all
industries, offering real-time
insights that lead to time and
cost savings.
For extremely large organizations and those with
highly unusual business models or strict security
requirements, a single-tenant cloud ERP may be
the best option when they leave their on-premises
ERP behind.
Most other organizations will see a better business case for SaaS ERP.
This is especially true for those seeking a fast implementation, lower
initial costs, and seamless scalability, and that want to avoid the time
and expense of installing and maintaining the software themselves.

7. Pros of Saas ERP
• Costs are not only lower but highly
predictable operating expenses.
• It’s also cost-effective.
• Rapid scalability.
• Automatic upgrades that save time.
• Faster and easier implementations and
better security.

8. Cons of SaaS ERP
• Costs increase as an organization adds users and can climb quickly if they aren’t monitored
closely.
• Less flexibility to customize the software to accommodate unique business processes or
operations.
• Too many upgrades at fewer intervals may ward-off users and dilute the advantages of SaaS.

9. Pros of Cloud
ERPs
• Real-time
analytics can help
you when making
critical business
decisions and
ensures process
optimization.
• A cloud system
stores and operates
everything remotely,
so even if employees
are spread across the
country they can still
input data in real-
time
• You never have to
worry about data
getting backed by a
third party, as the
system tracks all
activity and fully
encrypts data stored
within the ERP.
• These costs are
reasonable and
generally
customized to
work around your
company’s budget.

10. • Cloud ERP software also scales easily, as it
adjusts the entire infrastructure to the necessary
size for each stage in your development as a
company
• As a cloud-based ERP service subscriber, you can
access the support you need around the clock.
Continued
ERP software is
most efficient
when it’s utilized
via the cloud.

11. Cons of Cloud ERP
• The main drawback of cloud-based
solutions is that the provider can access
your data.
• When you’re using a cloud ERP, you don’t
own your software.
• Another problem with cloud ERP solutions
is that they can cost more over time.
• You’re heavily dependent on the stability
of your internet connection.

13. Why is Cloud ERP better?
• Implementation is rapid and simple.
• Cloud based ERP programs offer improved
flexibility, accessibility and easy integration, a must
to support dynamic business models and diverse
requirements.
• It offers a higher degree of information safety and
ensure secure encryptions.
• It helps businesses streamline performance across
all key areas of operations, including efficient
resource planning and allocation.
