Over the last few years, ERP solution providers have continued to innovate, finding ways to use cloud computing and platform as a service (PaaS) to offer businesses the same bespoke feel of a siloed ERP with the affordability and flexibility of SaaS. Using the cloud platform as a service approach, businesses can create a flexible, open-ended space that’s designed to both meet their computing and planning needs today and grow with them into the future. That platform creates opportunities for data and functional integration across the board, meaning that the best, most up-to-date SaaS tools can now be leveraged in a way that provides the simple navigation and unified user experience of a custom-built in-house ERP.
