Enterprise Resource Planning systems areknown for helping the organizations for sharing and the transferring their data and info allover the units functioning internally and externally. When we share and transfer data wehelp the enterprise to achieve its objectives in many ways. The term cloud computing isentirely the model in computing that takes place in the internet providing scalability, howreliable, how available and the cost of computer reassures being low. When we implementand run the Enterprise Resource Planning system we will greatly benefit on theadvantages and the benefits with regards to the difficulties and challenges faced when wemigrate to the cloud based technology. The paper below will follow the SLR (which isSystematic Literature Review) methods of research that will help to explore cloud basedenterprise systems and their benefits when we want to implement the ERP systems in theenvironment of the cloud.Introduction.With a lot of Expectations on the Return-On-Investment many enterprises nowadays haveput a lot emphasis on in investing in various aspects with an agenda to reduce cost,maximizing of profits and to help to support in decision making. The first investmentaspects made by the enterprise is when we want to implement the Enterprise ResourcePlanning Systems. The Enterprise Resource Planning System will help in collecting,recording, integrating, managing and delivering data info in all the units in function in theentire environment. ERP system helps in breaking down the info between the inventory,planning, level of production, sales & marketing, finance and any other department in theorganization.
When we implement the ERP system in an enterprise we will expect to a quality that ishigh, reduced time to market, communications that is improved, decision making support,lead-times being shortened and lowering the cost and yielding very high products.

The reason for itworking over the internet is because it is enhanced with electronic commerce capabilities,ability to integrate, collaborating easily with the suppliers, partners, portals of thecustomers and enhancing the follow up and track of all row material coming in and the finalproducts going out which helps in extending the visibility and controlling the inside and theoutside of the enterprise. Enterprises do an estimation of the ERP project cost which istermed to be the only cost for the software license. When we work it practically we see thatthere are many issues that we will need to consider we are budgeting on theimplementation of the Enterprise Resource Planning System such as the fees for thesoftware licenses, Hardware to be used, services to be implemented at the fee to be paidfor the training offered. The enterprise size may be increased due to the cost ofimplementing the ERP system being very high.Enterprise Resource PlanningEnterprise Resource planning is a software system that aims in integrating the unitsfunctioning in the enterprise in a way that is cooperative. The integration has beenextended with inclusion of parties that are outside the organisation where the supplier andthe clients are involved in the integration process. Enterprise Resource Planning Systemsis a very major element of the IT infrastructure that is used to deliver the solution of thebusiness[ CITATION VBG05 \l 1033 ]. We can define an ERP to be a software package that isvery comprehensive as it seeks the way we integrate by completing he range of processesin the business and the business functions that are ordered in presenting all holistic views

There are some vendors of ERP are such as the SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft andthe J.D Edward. Most of this vendors in developing the different modules in covering andsupporting all functional units of the enterprise[ CITATION MAl16 \l 1033 ]. The traditionalenterprise resource planning systems are divided in to two categories namely the On-Premise and the hosted Enterprise Resource Planning Systems.

hosting the servers physically and running the services in other places. Most of theseservices are offered through a network that is direct connected in that they may run or notrun over the internet.

Cloudcomputing has been known to exist in the environment that will provides how available,scalable and how flexible the computer will reassure the abstraction different levels withthe low running cost. Cloud computing is defined to as the method of computing whichprovides computations acting as the utility in meeting the daily needs of the entirebusiness[ CITATION RBu13 \l 1033 ]. It may also refer to all applications, the hardware and thesoftware that are delivered as services through the internet[ CITATION XXu12 \l 1033 ]. Thereare service models provided in Cloud computing as shown in the diagram below.Software as a Service (SaaS)Platform as a Service (PaaS)Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)Figure 1 Cloud-computing Service Models
