- What is cloud ERP hosting?
Cloud ERP hosting runs your ERP system on Microsoft's cloud infrastructure instead of on your own on-premises servers. Your software, data, and updates are managed and secured in the cloud, allowing users to access the system from virtually anywhere using an internet-connected device.
- Is cloud ERP more secure than on-premises?
Cloud ERP is generally more secure because Microsoft manages security patching and updates automatically. On-premises systems depend on your own IT team applying every patch on time, and missed updates are one of the most common causes of ransomware attacks.
- How much does it cost to move to a cloud ERP?
Cost depends on your number of users, your current system, and how much data needs to migrate. Western Computer offers a total cost of ownership comparison between cloud and on-premises deployments so you can see real numbers before deciding.
- Can I run a hybrid cloud and on-premises setup?
Yes. Western Computer supports fully hosted, fully cloud, and hybrid combinations, so you can move at the pace that fits your business rather than migrating everything at once.
