Cloud has gained a lot of prominence thanks to the Covid19 pandemic resulting in lockdowns necessitating digitalization of enterprises than mere automation. Debates  on should one host the ERP on-premises or on the cloud have become more common. Discussions are also on hybrid infrastructure where certain applications are deployed on cloud and rest on premise. There are several dimensions to decision making on choosing the cloud.

ERP Cloud

Selecting the right ERP product is becoming more and more challenging as some ERP products have become comprehensive and complex while some other are simple but sophisticated. The architecture of the product and hence its configurability is the most important factor that affects the way in which current and ever-changing needs of customers could be met.

Fragile Systems

Organizations which choose several point solutions in terms of sales, materials and financial accounting realise quite late that such solutions do not integrate easily and refuse to scale up to the growing needs. They lose whatever investments they make on IT without realizing it. People are pushed to bring in efficiency without the right IT infrastructure resulting in missing several decision- making abilities that an integrated ERP can provide. Such fragile solutions crack when technology upgradations are required to take advantage of ever-growing devices which make more sense for the people on the job than sitting with a desktop for updating things periodically during the job or after completing the job. In such organizations technology is adopted without deep IT experience as they assemble several part-time or student interns to deliver solutions. Organizations recruit several fresher from college expecting them to create an IT environment beyond their means. Solutions can be simple, but should not be fragile

The other end of the spectrum is organizations choosing robust solutions. They typically go for highly customized solutions with the help of large IT services companies in addition to maintaining a large of army of IT staff. They also experiment with various products hitting the market at different point in time with the intention of remaining in the bleeding edge of technology. Organizations feel that they have a robust enterprise solution as their day to day as well as scaling up needs are met. They do not realize the IT churn that take place with host of different products and vendor services pushing their costs which otherwise can be spent on innovation. Such robust systems break up when the costs overweigh too much over the benefits. While such systems cope up with the minor changes that happen in business and technology, they collapse when there is a major shift in the way technology and doing business affect the industry.

World has changed from the days when robust systems could satisfy the needs. Today’s world has been aptly described as VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world. While only the change characterised the past, Volatility in terms of nature and dynamics of change accompanied by speed of change signify today’s context. Past systems could come out with data enabling prediction in the past world, but today we must be able to take decision when Uncertainty thrives. Cause and effect chain could be easily traceable in the past, today’s Complexity causes confusion with multiplex of forces and puzzling issues. The potential for misreads of meanings of complex conditions make the perception of reality hazy putting us in ambiguous state for ever.Amitysoft, the pioneer in ERP products and services with nearly three decades of experience have identified right ERP solutions for wide range of industries and implemented successfully ensuring the IT investments result in business value through the tough and growth phases of business.Please reach out to us at [email protected] for additional information/ get information about successful Antifragile IT platforms.
