Supply Chain OptimisationBuilt for the Cloud And on Premise Use, Available as a Subscription or Capital Investment

While cloud may be preferred among large multinational companies, on-premise may be better choice for smaller companies - mostly because it enables more flexibility at implementations. Both cloud and on premise are available for subscription; on premise is also available as capital investment. ERP as a Service has two major advantages:
