Business as unusual
Cuối cùng thì đây cũng là thế giới của SaaS
I recently went on a business trip to Thailand with some of my team members to attend the Infor SunSystems Channel Partner Conference APAC. We were updated on insights and the roadmap for SunSystems for the future.
It was exciting to see all the partners from the region in person after the years of COVID. Despite being a hybrid event (well, duh, we’re living in an unusual world. I believe all experiences need to be inclusive so that we do not single out any group), the conference was well-thought-out and informative.
So, what was the biggest news? Well, SunSystems, like most Infor solutions, is moving to SaaS Cloud. And there is no denying that this transition is a giant leap in both financial and technological aspects.
We have already covered SunSystems 6.4, the new SaaS-based version of SunSystems Cloud, as well as Infor OS and the array of features that come along with it, in-depth in our blogs.
Arguably, there are legitimate concerns and hesitations about going SaaS Cloud such as the legal aspect of where your data actually resides. And of course, there is the issue with cloud washing where an on-premises product/service is rebranded and/or repackaged to be associated with “cloud.”
Just to be clear, there is nothing inherently wrong with on-premise software. And to be much clearer, on-premise software is and will be around because it still manages to offer certain benefits over the cloud, and the cloud is still on its way to reaching the peak of innovation.
That said, going SaaS Cloud offers tremendous value in terms of cost and resource optimisation. It allows your enterprise to access capabilities that may otherwise be too costly and complex if being deployed on-premise.
Imagine a world where your accounting and finance team can do a lot more with Financial ERP than just record day-to-day transactions. What if they can create intra- and interdepartmental automated workflows, see related documents from within the context of the application, or even access a next-gen data lake for later analytics?
And they can do all of the above anywhere, anytime, and on any device. Even better, those advanced capabilities can be rolled out as parts of a simple implementation.
By going SaaS Cloud, Financial ERP is not just a tool but also a tremendous force multiplier for your accounting and finance team.
Such a world can only become a reality with SaaS.
Gone are the days when we have to wait months, or even years, for enterprise systems to be fully deployed and ready to use. Now, with the widespread application of cloud computing, solution deployment is much more efficient and cost-effective.
It is now possible to deliver industry-specific functionalities and content “out-of-the-box.” This has always been what Infor and TRG strive to bring to our customers so you can get up and run quickly and get the benefit from the new systems and avoid any downtime.
If you have the power to turn a feature on and off or freely scale up or down upon demand, then why not take advantage of it?
Here’s a secret. Infor SunSystems Cloud is expected to be launched at the end of October. That’s two months from now, and I’m ready for it. Until then we can expect more information about this revolutionary solution. So please stay tuned for my future updates.
