There are a variety of reasons why companies migrate ERP applications from on-premise to the cloud. With the proliferation of cloud technologies offering massive data processing capabilities, software integration and increased mobility, the reasons for leaving Microsoft Dynamics GP on-premise is wearing thin. By moving GP to the cloud, organizations can leverage a competitive advantage. Here are three other critical drivers for making the switch:
To replace legacy software – Legacy software can cause poor network performance throughout the organization. However, opting for cloud-based applications helps eliminate maintenance challenges, reduce ongoing costs, and improve performance and reliability. Migrating Dynamics GP to the cloud enables a more customer-centric experience which ensures greater adoption for your internal stakeholders. Organizations that transition from legacy software to employ a cloud-first approach reap the benefits of flexibility, scalability, and the usability of Dynamics GP.
To integrate applications – Many companies wish to streamline their operations by sharing data across applications and between departments. For example, ERP software sharing customer information with your CRM and marketing automation programs. The cloud can simplify the integration process for consolidated IT resources, while lack of integration creates daily challenges, significant expenses, and threats to the agility of an organization.
To support scalable mobility – In-house or legacy IT infrastructure and procurement practices can hinder application scalability. The cloud offers the capacity to quickly deliver more mobile access, apps, and content. Cloud computing allows employees to move more freely within the company and from any location outside of the workspace. The use of mobile applications and devices enables access to Dynamics GP on personal devices.
Updating or modernizing key legacy applications like Microsoft Dynamics GP and moving them to the cloud should be a high priority for any organization pursuing digital transformation.
