The rest of the data &#8211; from other disconnected networks and dispersed sources &#8211; are expected to be moved to the cloud gradually, over the next two years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Navy chiefs said that this move is expected to increase accessibility, facilitate immediate availability, better visibility for monitoring of parts moving through the pipeline, and easier auditing and reporting. It is also expected to improve security as it will be easier to check for threats and vulnerabilities in a single system, rather than in multiple disparate locations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Benefits and Beyond<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as the Navy chiefs of the USA came to recognize, cloud computing comes with a number of benefits that improve overall performance and management of data. You can read more about these and other benefits in an earlier article <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudnowtech.com\/blog\/why-your-business-needs-cloud-computing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While these benefits are pretty much generic to cloud computing and can be enjoyed any time (if you\u2019ve chosen your cloud platforms wisely), here are a few reasons why you need to move from an on-premise ERP to a cloud-based one NOW.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A number of ERP companies are coming up with updates, which require hardware updates and lease renewals. This means you will need to plan for investment, both in terms of hardware and data center space. By deciding to move to a cloud-based ERP instead, you can cut down on this capex.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The period of fear over cloud security has passed. Yes, there is the occasional news of a data breach &#8211; but people are becoming increasingly aware that there is the same amount of risk with on-premise ERPs as well. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.akku.work\/blog\/5-cloud-security-myths-busted\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">myths about cloud security<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are progressively being busted and a number of security enhancing <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">solutions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are becoming available in the market. So, this is probably the best time to make the pitch and convince your organizational heads to make the transition.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that over <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">70% of enterprises<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are currently in the process of migrating their ERP applications to the cloud?
