| | September 20166CIOReviewBe it for system integration or process streamlining, enterprises are adopting advanced Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to synergize resources across operations. The power of ERP is undeniably growing across industries, providing ways to understand and refine business operations with deeper insights. Often, its vigorous growth is driven by transformational forces like cloud, analytics, mobility, and IoT. In an active move to enhance process flexibility, today cloud ERP is replacing legacy ERP systems at a much lower investment. Often, the resources to host a cloud-based ERP solution are taken care of by the provider. For small businesses, this will likely even out the operating and implementation costs. With enhanced security and scalability, cloud ERP also ensures that ERP data is secure from outside sources. The next generation cloud ERP is also mobile-ready, improving process visibility, information sharing and accessibility. Meanwhile, by combining cloud applications with on-premise applications, today's enterprises are building an integrated and federated ERP environment that will drive strategic decision-making to improve business performance. Vendors are building cost-effective and well-integrated ERP suites to bring together all the ERP components under one system. This also brings a balance between administrative ERP and operational ERP strategies to meet business goals across all domains. In this scenario, there are many vendors in the market that offer ERP solutions to make business operations ultra efficient.
