Advantages of cloud-based versus on-premises
B&M’s decision to migrate their enterprise system was based on two key factors: one, upgrading the system to include the latest functionality to add more efficiency to their expanding workflows, and two, increasing the flexibility to make it more future proof. The AMCS Cloud-based Platform provided the answer to both these things.
According to Andrew Waland, IT Manager for B&M, migrating the enterprise system to the cloud provides them with a variety of advantages over working with multiple servers on site:
Benefits of a Cloud-based Platform
