Companies today are under pressure from the economy; changing technology; changing customer, employee, and partner
expectations; and the need to compete in an increasingly complex connected global economy. To adequately respond to
these pressures, businesses are looking to use technology as the lever for and the underpinning of new, innovative
approaches to business. The cloud is a critical part of that strategy for most businesses and supports other key
technologies like mobility, decision support systems, and collaboration/social systems.
The choice of public, private, or hybrid cloud is a strategic business decision and should be examined closely. There are
benefits, costs, and risks with each model as well as regulatory and compliance issues that vary by industry.
When companies look at the cloud, there are many factors that influence the decision to move all or some of their
applications to the public cloud.

SaaS & Open Source ERP

the application. The underlying software driving the SaaS solution can be either commercial or open source.

charging for software, services, configuration, training, and customizations.
In the case of open-source software, a SaaS solution is only available through service providers who charge for the
providing services that can range from simple hosting to full application support.
