The impact of Cloud
Cloud-based deployments provided the ability to provide elastic resource capabilities.
This has several technical and cost advantages. However, from a business perspect-
ive, it opened up the possibility of a "plug-in" functionality that did not have to be de-
veloped in-house.
This was a tremendously liberating aspect for the business, and its impact is similar
to the dawn of the Internet age. You could now browse for functionality that was re-
quired, and pay-per-use for the same. Using middleware, this functionality could be
integrated with back-end systems. It is this empowering of the business that is now
fundamentally changing the ERP space.
