2CLOUD BASED ERP SYSTEMS
Introduction
The concept of the cloud computing is one of the most advanced and most researched
thing in the world right now. The cloud can be explained as the web based servers that are
used for the purpose of storing data, using as a platform and other. Cloud computing have
reached each and every sector of the world, forum marketing to sales, hospitals to personal
computer and others. The cloud is one of the major thing that have been taking place in the
past few years. The major benefit of using the cloud computing is that with the use of this
there is less requirement of using the various proprietary software, instead a single software
that is present in the cloud architecture can be used. This helps the organisation in reducing
the cost of different kind of the software also helps in the process of data security. The cloud
based enterprise system is one of the major example of such software that are present in the
cloud servers. The ERP or the enterprise resource planning can be explained as the bundle of
the software that is used for the purpose of the transaction through the wide business process.
The ERP uses a large and varied number of databases that are connected with each other for
the purpose of storing data and hence keeping the data safe. Installing the propitiatory
software is not like the installing of t the ordinary software but requires huge investments and
needs to take major risks.
This paper introduces the concept of the cloud based ERP system and how these have
helped the organisation in the process of developing the planning system in better manner.
Further this paper researches some of the major articles that have been researched in the past.
Further the paper explains the details about the system of the paper.

traditional ERP systems vs. cloud-based ERP systems. In Innovative Computing Technology
(INTECH), 2014 Fourth International Conference on (pp. 135-139). IEEE.
In the paper of the Abdullah A. Al-Ghofaili explains in details about the concept of
the cloud based systems and the standard systems. In this paper the researchers describes the
major benefits of using the Cloud based systems instead of the standard ERP software (Ali,
Khan & Vasilakos, 2015). The paper well explains the basics of the cloud computing system
and how the cloud computing can help in the regular life. The researchers explains further
that how the cloud system can be used for the purpose of the delivering software services.
The researchers explains some of the major cloud computing services that the cloud services
provides, such as the On demand self-service, Broad network access, Resource planning , Pay
per use and other services that are provided by the cloud architectures. The enterprise based
resource planning in the cloud system is the example of the resource planning. The researcher
further explains in the paper the concept of the SAAS and the PAAS services that are offered
by the cloud servers. The SAAS can be explained as the software as a service while the
PAAS can be explained as the platform as a service. These are the most important concepts
of the cloud computing that have been explained in the paper (Almorsy, Grundy & Müller,
2016).The major purpose of the paper is to explain the difference between the standard
enterprise software and cloud based software. The cloud ERP systems as explained a by the
researchers is nothing more than hosted ERP in the cloud platform. The ERP in the cloud
system helps in the process of the reducing the cost and also requires less amount of the
hardware requirements. Hence this can be said as the perfect solution in terms of saving
money. The cloud based ERP system runs in the SAAS platform. The SAAs platform is very
low in the terms of the price and the cost and hence are very much useful in the small scale
