8 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 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. Cognizant Insights, January 2013 EMERGING MARKET JOINT VENTURE ACQUISITION SUBSIDIARY CORPORATE ERP DIVESTURES PRODUCT LINE 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. Edge PROCUREMENT ORDER MANAGEMENT SUPPLY CHAIN COLLABORATION MANUFACTURING CORPORATE ERP 8

9 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 CORPORATE ERP 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.
