What is an ERP System?


ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning, and an ERP system is a type of software that integrates a
variety of business processes and functions into a single system. An ERP system typically includes modules
for areas such as accounting, human resources, customer relationship management, supply chain
management, inventory management, and production planning.

The primary objective of an ERP system is to provide a single source of truth for all business data, making
it easier for companies to manage their operations more efficiently and effectively. By consolidating data
from different departments, an ERP system can eliminate the need for multiple, disconnected software
applications, and help to streamline business processes, improve collaboration between departments,
and increase data accuracy and consistency.

What is Cloud Computing?


Cloud computing represents a new way to deploy computing technology to give users the ability to access,
work on, share, and store information using the internet. The ideal way to describe Cloud Computing
would be to term it as 'Everything as a Service' (abbreviated as XaaS). The cloud itself is a complex network
of data centers, each composed of thousands of computers working together that can perform and
achieve the functions of a software on a personal or business computer units by providing users access to
a vast number of applications, platforms and services delivered over the Internet.

Private Cloud, also known as Internal Cloud, is a cloud-based infrastructure operated exclusively for a
single organization with all data protected behind an internal firewall. This is usually physically located at
the company's on-site data center or can also be managed and hosted by a third-party provider.

PUBLIC CLOUD
Public Cloud, also known as External Cloud, is available to the public where data are created and stored
on third-party servers. Service infrastructure belongs to service providers that manage them and
administer pool resources. The need for user companies to buy and maintain their own hardware is
eliminated. It is based on a shared cost model for all the users or in the form of a licensing policy such as
pay per use.

HYBRID CLOUD
Hybrid Cloud encompasses the best features of the above-mentioned cloud computing deployment
models. It allows companies to mix and match the facets of public and private cloud that best suit their
requirements.
