The decision between cloud and on-premise ERP will depend on various factors such as security, data privacy, cost, scalability, and accessibility.
We all know that the growth in Cloud ERP will continue in 2023 and the benefits are well documented; lower infrastructure costs, automatic software updates, and increased collaboration and mobility.
