Cloud ERP is enterprise resource planning (ERP) software deployed “as a service” in the cloud. Cloud-based ERP simplifies providing ERP to users who can access the solution from any internet-connected device from any location. It also eliminates the need for a cloud-based ERP customer to invest and maintain the infrastructure for ERP and to more easily keep up with software updates. When using cloud-based ERP software, like QAD Adaptive ERP, a manufacturer can implement ERP more quickly and easily add new users and sites.
