Abstract

Cloud technology, under various forms, is becoming more advanced and flexible, making it an essential component for success in the digital age and business process for companies. By enhancing the organization's performance, it can become a significant software provider, combining virtualization with cloud technology. The cost of ERP implementation is one of the concerns in SME for the financial. Currently, data communication and telecom companies offer, along with other communication and cloud storage services, access to on-line ERP, with standard modules with a few customization features, where time-to-deployment is considerably reduced, ERP being marketed as Software as Service. Small and large organizations can use different types of cloud computing. It can alter the commonality within the acronyms following Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). This paper's purpose is to identify the benefits and drawbacks of traditional ERP versus cloud-based ERP systems in small and large organizations. This paper investigates the business process for ERP implementation in SME, between Cloud-Based ERP and Traditional ERP System highlighting the differences in common approaches.
