Organisations that embrace cloud computing can experience significant cost reductions when it comes to the on-going operation of their solutions. With Dynamics NAV 2013 now available as a cloud-based solution, Microsoft is one of the few vendors about to provide organisations with options when it comes to ERP deployment. Is your organisation ready to embrace ERP in the cloud? What are the key business factors you should be considering? What should we, as New Zealand-based organisations, be looking for? Does an on-premise deployment make more sense? This Think! Seminar explored the value proposition of ERP in the cloud, incorporating the latest information from Microsoft Convergence, Microsoft’s global conference for users of Microsoft Dynamics solutions.
