Far too often, many small business leaders overlook the potential financial impact on their company's bottom line by staying and upgrading their current on-premises ERP solutions instead of moving to a cloud-based ERP solution like Microsoft Business Central. However, the opportunities can increase when considering moving your ERP to the cloud, but it's important to consider the costs with any migration plan.
While small businesses can sometimes struggle with the amount of demanding tasks crowding their plates, one thing's for sure, it's crucial to understand the ongoing costs implications of your systems. This goes especially for those using an on-premise system when they could be saving money with a cloud ERP solution.
It is essential for small businesses to be aware of the potential pitfalls that come with on-premises solutions. For instance, who will provide support for the system once the consultant has completed the setup? And what are the associated costs for ongoing support?
It's crucial for small business leaders to be aware of these hidden costs before making a purchase or a major upgrade to an on-premises ERP system. By understanding these factors, you may uncover that cloud ERP solutions like Microsoft Business Central offer a more efficient and cost-effective alternative for your business.
So, how do you circumvent these issues and avoid hidden costs? The answer is by using a subscription cloud model like Microsoft Dynamics 365 or Business Central.
All of the costs and functions associated with providing a comprehensive solution are bundled into one single monthly, quarterly or annual payment. All of those items assumed by the customer are included in the cost of a single bundled subscription offering in the cloud-driven market. Subscription models remove the need for upfront capital, offering a controllable operating expense.
If it's overwhelming, don't let it stay that way. In order to fully embrace saving your time and money, you have to first understand the process. We can help you with that.
