Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have become a powerful tool for companies of every stripe. Cloud-based software suites are particularly effective for integrating different business workflows and operations. The system flexibility and scalability creates opportunities to integrate different systems.

The rise of mainstream internet usage in the 1990s revolutionized business communications and led to many new business operations. But those have now become legacy systems, in many cases redundant and outdated. Business owners face the need to update what they have in order to face the new demands of their customers. Cloud ERPs create a perfect solution for these, with the capability of integrating different systems into one cohesive portal.

Acumatica, a leading cloud vendor, offers several ERP suites, specialized for different industries and operations. They are all uniquely designed to create the perfect solution for any professional need.

Modern Solutions for the Postmodern Cloud ERP World

In these days, businesses are seeking the most efficient system to control their operations. Physical-based systems and even original ERP suites have not caught up to current systems. So-called postmodern Cloud Erp Systems offer many benefits far and above those of traditional systems, providing comprehensive solutions in today’s business environment.

The available benefits include the ability to mix on-premise and cloud technologies to the ability to build agile IT architecture systems. The scalability and versatility of postmodern cloud ERP systems create a comprehensive toolset, which can be modified to reflect changing priorities or project requirements. Also, legacy systems may have file-based inputs; modern cloud ERP solutions offer open APIs, increasing ease of access and usage speeds.

Acumatica’s CEO Jon Roskill explains the advantages of ERP systems as: “In my day-to-day world of cloud ERP, we see typical small and midsized businesses running on ledgers, spreadsheets, and worst of all, disconnected legacy accounting systems, all of which creates silos of redundant or conflicting data.” His point is that the use of outdated or single-source points can create chaos for different departments as they work to make sense of where the business stands. Cloud ERP systems serve to eliminate that confusion.

The benefits of utilizing a cloud ERP solution allowing for integration through open APIs include:

• Having a core system of record that interacts seamlessly with any cloud service application, even for third-parties
• Anytime, anywhere access to critical data points
• Automated workflows between systems
• The elimination of manual data entry
• Lowered transactional costs.

Integrating various legacy systems into the cloud is a step in the right direction for a business struggling to control workflow bottlenecks and ballooning maintenance costs. Open APIs give power to fixing these cases by aggregating different systems into one portal.

The advantages of having such a flexible and user-friendly system cannot be overstated. Integrating systems into one secure access point slashes transactional costs and eliminates bottlenecks through effective and timely communications between systems and departments.

One of the better features of cloud ERP software is its scalability. The software can be used for minor workflows, or built up to aggregate and control multiple workflows. That creates the needed solution for businesses both large and small.
