What is Cloud ERP?
Cloud ERP runs on infrastructure outside the company's premises and is accessed online according to user permissions.
What is On-Premise ERP?
On-premise ERP is hosted on infrastructure owned or directly managed by the business.
Cost
Cloud ERP generally reduces the need to purchase and manage internal server infrastructure.
On-premise deployment may require higher initial infrastructure and maintenance investment.
Remote access
Cloud solutions are usually designed for access across multiple locations and remote work.
Maintenance and upgrades
Cloud providers can handle more of the infrastructure and upgrade responsibility.
On-premise deployment places greater responsibility on the internal IT team.
Security
Security depends on configuration, updates, backups, access controls and operating practices rather than deployment location alone.
