such as creating executive dashboards,
deploying mobile devices, and crafting

The cloud is more secure
Today, it’s hard to imagine a
client who could possibly create a more
secure operating environment than
leading cloud providers. Indeed, Gartner
reports that “Multi-tenant services
are not only highly resistant to attack,

but are also a more secure starting
point than most traditional in-house
implementations.”
Security today is a comprehensive,
end-to-end mind set that has to be
built across every layer of the ERP
environment from the physical network
interface cards to the user passwords.
It means a holistic approach to
anticipating and minimising possible
natural, human, and technical
disruptions to your system to ensure
uptime and peace of mind.

Upgrades
Cloud deployment redefines
the experience by designing
upgrades—big and small—to
be deployed by the ERP cloud
operations staff as part of standard
support services, without imposing
software installations on your staff.
Minor updates are transparently
deployed in a non-disruptive
fashion, and major upgrades
are announced well in advance,
and include a sandbox training
environment and end-user training.
