KenandyTM Cloud ERP

Technology is powering disruptive business models in every industry sector. Mobile, social,

global, and real-time visibility—these are the capabilities that you need in your business

change, because change is happening at an ever faster rate. That’s why we created the

Kenandy Cloud ERP Platform from a clean sheet of paper. The result is a totally different type

Move to the Cloud Now!

For some companies, moving ERP to the cloud means replacing their core ERP system.

For other companies, a more gradual migration better fit their needs. In working with our

customers and prospects, we have identified three patterns of adoption:

Two-Tier

Companies that have a core on-premise ERP for their corporate operations, but need to move

quickly with acquisitions, global expansions, joint ventures, divestures, or simply don’t want to

continue their long and costly on-premise roll-outs, are implementing a two-tier ERP strategy

In this strategy, the on-premise ERP is kept at the corporate core. Cloud ERP is employed for

new and strategic areas of the business—with integration back to the corporate core, for

example, to corporate finance.

Organizations that embrace two-tier ERP strategies are better positioned to both navigate volatile global business conditions and acquire or divest operations that generate operational efficiency and growth.

Similar to strategic deployment, some companies want to keep their core corporate ERP for

areas such as finance, but need a modern and easy-to-use solution for other business areas

like indirect procurement or manufacturing. These customers implement an edge strategy

with cloud functional areas integrated back to the corporate core on-premise ERP.

Both the two-tier and edge deployment models offer you a proof of concept to experience

what cloud ERP can offer, without disrupting your core ERP. Integration with your core ERP is

easy to accomplish.

Core

For companies that are running aging legacy systems, the time has come for a full ERP

replacement. Rather than take on a multi-year or on-premise implementation, customers are

moving to the cloud, as a way to leapfrog into a modern architecture. Implement Kenandy

Cloud ERP as your core operational system and get the benefits of faster time-to-value, greater

collaboration with your customers and partners, and more flexibility to adapt to changing

business demands.

Get Started Today

Whatever strategy you choose, it’s critical that you evaluate how cloud ERP can transform

your business. One thing is for sure—your competitors are not waiting. Kenandy can help

you determine the strategy that is right for your business. And we can work with you to test

scenarios for your business, so you can start to empower the people in your business today.
