Why the cloud?
The cloud offers companies flexibility, cost efficiency and scalability that are difficult to achieve with traditional on-premise solutions. This makes the advantages of the cloud particularly attractive for companies that want to respond flexibly to market changes while keeping an eye on their IT costs.
1. How do scalability and flexibility support growth?
With SAP Business One in the cloud, companies can flexibly adapt their IT resources to growth and changing requirements. Whether your company is expanding or entering new business areas, the cloud offers the flexibility you need to respond quickly to change.
2. How does SAP Business One in the cloud lead to cost optimization?
The cloud not only reduces the need for expensive on-premises infrastructure, but also enables more efficient use of IT budgets. Instead of large upfront investments, you typically only pay for the resources you actually use as part of a subscription model. In addition, maintenance costs, hardware investments and IT staff costs are significantly lower, as many of these tasks are handled by your cloud provider.
3. What are the benefits of availability and mobility in everyday life?
In an increasingly connected and global business world, it is crucial to be able to access business data anytime, anywhere. The cloud makes this possible: With SAP Business One in the cloud, you and your employees have access to important information—whether in the office, working from home or on the go. This mobility increases productivity and improves collaboration, especially in decentralized teams and international projects.
4. What makes the cloud so future-proof?
Die Cloud bietet Ihnen die Möglichkeit, stets auf dem neuesten Stand zu bleiben. Regelmäßige Updates und Upgrades werden automatisch durchgeführt, ohne dass Sie sich um manuelle Installationen oder Ausfallzeiten kümmern müssen. Updates lassen sich bequem zu Ihrem Wunschtermin durchführen – auch in der Nacht oder am Wochenende, um Ihr Tagesgeschäft nicht zu unterbrechen. Damit ist Ihr Unternehmen zukunftssicher aufgestellt und kann von den neuesten Innovationen profitieren, sobald sie verfügbar sind.
5. How quickly can the cloud solution be implemented?
Implementing a cloud solution such as SAP Business One is usually much faster than a traditional on-premise installation. Since no physical hardware is required on site, there is no need for time-consuming setup. In addition, system maintenance and support are simplified, as many tasks—such as installing updates—are handled automatically by the cloud provider.
What are the advantages of Cloudiax's private cloud?
We provide you with your own private cloud environment, hosted by our partner Cloudiax. While resources in a public cloud are shared with other users, in a private cloud you use dedicated resources that are exclusively available to your company. This guarantees optimal performance and maximum security to protect your company data – for as few as 3 users.
Your private cloud is operated in a certified data center that meets the strict requirements of European and German data protection guidelines. No setup costs and a daily backup of your databases ensure smooth and secure operation.
Whether SQL or HANA – your own individual system is tailored specifically to your company's needs and you have the option of using any add-ons. You always retain administrator access to your system. This ensures maximum flexibility and control over your environment, while at the same time benefiting from full integration into your existing systems and processes.
