I have recently made an entry comparing cloud and traditional ERP solutions. Implementing an ERP is an objective decision makin process. Most but not all of the situations, the advantages such as low cost, fast implementation, scalability and mobility can forestall some negative disadvantages such as security and customisation issues as long as the company’s objective is to implement an agile, fast and cost effective solution.

Further adding to advantages of Cloud ERP systems,
Rapid updates & upgrades (faster upgrades for cloud based ERP in comparison to on-premise solutions)
Improved system availability and disaster recovery (better protection of data and recovery)
Focus on core competencies (outsourcing ERP helps company to focus on core internal IT functions)
