Benefits of a Cloud ERP

Data always protected

Contrary to what some people think, data security on the cloud is higher than data stored locally on enterprise servers. We use a multi-layered security system for the infrastructures that host our clients’ data, which protects their integrity. Furthermore, a backup copy of the data is made every day as an additional measure of protection against data deletion or loss.

Cloud ERP: Frequently Asked Questions

 
 
  • Why choose a Cloud Management Software?
    To save on purchase and management costs: the costs that the company would have to incur in hardware and software to implement an equivalent system can be reduced with a management software in the Cloud.
    For greater data security: although this is the main cause of the reticence that companies have towards the Cloud, paradoxically it is instead one of its strengths. The security of data on the Cloud is generally higher than that of data stored locally on corporate servers: web farms are much more vigilant and reliable in monitoring this aspect, data is copied simultaneously on multiple hard disks, each server is equipped with continuity groups and automatic backup systems.

    To access data anytime and anywhere: with a Cloud management software it is possible to control, monitor and work on management data from anywhere and at any time. The management of processes is no longer relegated to a company computer, but moves with you.
