Cloud ERP Brings Greater Security But Treat Updates With Caution To Minimise Operational Disruption
Architecture and Governance, Friday, August 11,2023
Over recent years many businesses have transitioned from on-premise to cloud ERP as people, systems, and data have become more manoeuvrable, with lower costs and tighter security. The transition comes with an abundance of business benefits from lowered administrative burdens to lower capital expenses.
Despite this some CIOs still need a little more convincing to fully move their enterprise software into the clous, citing concerns over version lag and untested updates causing operational disruptions.

No system is truly exempt from trouble, no matter how well-configured the cloud and all its additional cost, efficiency, and end-user benefits. By adopting an 'evergreen' approach to updates CIOs can ensure a consistent trail of security upgrades, big fixes, and steady improvements - however this doesn't mean IT departments will not face some challenges along the way.
