The world seems to have gotten smaller every year since the Internet was introduced to the public. As such, expectations have risen for manufacturers. Many procedures that once took time are now expected to be near instantaneous, with information capable of being shared virtually at light speed.

In order to keep up with the ever accelerating manufacturing industry, many enterprise leaders are beginning to implement off-premise ERP systems into their business processes to take advantage of the wide array of benefits the cloud presents.

An article for Manufacturing Business Technology lists three reasons as to why you should think about making the switch as well:

• Multi-system cooperation: When running business management software off premise, it gives you the flexibility to control operations at multiple facilities should you so choose. It also lets you communicate with multiple other departments of your company simultaneously, making sure everyone is on the same page.
• Greater speed and flexibility: As outlined above, the introduction of the cloud into your business could ultimately lead to a more streamlined workflow, as well as a greater elasticity throughout. "The ability for a company to react quickly to major changes in business conditions without a lot of disruption. Good cloud ERP systems give companies the platform for agility. The system can grow and adapt easily," says the article.
• More transparency: "Process visibility" is quickly becoming a key phrase in the enterprise software world. Having the ability to peer into the inner workings of your company is invaluable, as it allows you to underline the specific practices that are holding you back.
