Best answer:

Answer by Val
I would not use cloud to host software with my company’s databases. If you do not value your data neither consider it to be private then cloud is alright. Otherwise, do not be surprised when your customers, suppliers, price catalogs, etc become available to your competition or just appear on the public web. The bottom line is that cloud is not for ERP nor CRM.

    Fast list
    1. companies that want to cut IT staff cost..
    2. advantages, someone else has the headache of keeping the system running. disadvantages – you have no control over upgrades or cuz anything, you use the software as it is. Your can’t plan for system downtime, you play by their rules.
    3. True cost per users. You must use the software as is, can your users do that or do they have the feeling “we do it diff” How much can you be down? the internet will go down from time to time.
    Do you have to update your network to run a faster internet? training.

    hope that helps, John
