How you'd like to finance the ERP system?

Financing ERP as a Service

ERP as a service has many advantages: there is no investment needed, and we take care of the health of the system. In short - everyone is doing what knows the best. 

The cost of ERP as a service is predictable and constant, with no surprises at upgrades, SW maintenance, and customization, or integration costs. Since it has no influence on your long, or short term debts, you can invest in other assets and developments.

• No initial capital investment - you pay as you go
• Complete ERP system management: Implementation, Upgrade, Optimization, Migration, Customer support
• Complete solution: ERP, EDI, Bar Code
• Pro-active care for running and developing the system
• Solution can be installed either on premise (on HW as a service or your HW), or in cloud

Financing ERP as a Capital Investment

ERP as a capital investment may be your preferred choice: maybe you want to manage ERP by your own crew, or maybe you decide to invest more capital in the beginning, and continue later only with SW maintenance and support.

• High initial capital investment - before start using the system. 
• Management of the system is prioritized by customer. 
• The probability for 'system erosion' is much higher, because upgrades are usually postponed to 'better times'. 
• The cost of usage is not predictable, and very likely unstable.
• It is available with ERP installation on premise only.

Where you'd like to run the ERP system?

ERP On Premise

For many companies on-premise installation of ERP is still the best solution, for many reasons:

• The entry level cost for cloud is maybe too high, or just higher than on premise solution
• The local IT experts are competent, yet less costly than support in cloud
• Internet connections are unstable
• Real-time integrations and response time performance levels are at risk
• Not feeling comfortable saving your confidential data in cloud

Especially for small and medium companies - but also for larger companies with sites in one or few countries only - on-premise installation is still preferred choice. This choice is also backed by the possibility of migration of the same system in the cloud later, which is doable if the system is managed on premise correctly - and in case of ERP as a service it is.
