What’s Pushing Service-Centric Organizations to the Cloud?

Posted on: September 21, 2017 | By: Craig Thompson | Acumatica

The fundamental needs of service-centric organizations versus product-centric organizations vary. Having a people-centric focus means that rather than selling products your business may sell consulting services, financials services, or is a nonprofit organization. Some popular capabilities service-centric organizations need for success include financials, human capital management (HCM), and indirect procurement. Additionally, businesses may choose to implement industry-specific functionality as well. There is also much less of a need to be on-premises for service-centric businesses compared to a business in the manufacturing industry. Service-centric businesses are often mobile, and because of this they need to be equipped to do business from anywhere in the world, at anytime. The Gartner report estimates that, “By 2025, at least 50% of large enterprises will successfully implement an “all-in” cloud SaaS strategy.” Read on to learn more about what ERP software like Acumatica does for these enterprises!

Improving Flexibility

Service-centric organizations are realizing the value the cloud can bring to their business. Choosing an ERP cloud solution improves the flexibility of ERP deployment, eliminating the need for on-premises IT. As mentioned, moving to cloud computing allows your business to go mobile! Not being tied down to one location makes expanding your network and increasing revenues your number one priority.

 

Digital Business

The emergence of digital business is in fact disrupting many traditional business models in the service industry. This shift is changing processes to focus more on efforts that support the customer and less on expending IT. Having to analyze whether upgrading your on-premises accounting software is worth the time and money will be no longer. What a relief!
