With its benefits of low cost, low maintenance and easy expansion, it has the potential to take over the ERP market, and the traditional on premises ERPs. In addition, increase in enterprise mobility and the customized pay-per-usage model creates a potential space for cloud storage solutions.
Emergence of cloud service brokerage further boosts the deployments of cloud ERP among organizations. The ERP prevents data loss or downtime due to localized component failure on cloud and avoids vendor lock-in. The price-sensitivity among cloud users majorly drives the market growth.
