Enterprise resource planning applications/ ERP applications in the cloud offer a faster time to value, increased innovation, and the scalability with the business. ERP cloud solutions have matured rapidly in the recent years. Today, even the core transactional processes in finance and procurement can be supported in a way that is suitable for the most organizations.

A medium-sized public sector organization had adopted several ERP applications (Enterprise resource planning applications) over the last eleven to 15 years. This environment became increasingly customized. The result was that the cost of maintaining this environment had increased over the years and upgrades were mostly executed out of the technical need and not functionality driven. Given the size of the organization and its functionality requirements, the cost of an ERP in the cloud was lower than maintaining the existing applications. In addition, the cloud functionality was richer.
