If you have not yet moved your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software from on-premises to the cloud, maybe, just maybe, the time has come to stop and think: Why? Why are you still stuck on-premises when the cloud is better for your business?
When cloud ERP first came out, I can understand that you were hesitant to jump on that bandwagon. But that was a long, long time ago, back when Digital Transformation (DT) was new, too. Now, DT is widely embraced, and cloud ERP is a critical element in that transformation.
Would I be correct to assume that you now stream music on Pandora or perhaps Spotify instead of vinyl records? Do you use a digital GPS device or app instead of paper maps and atlases? Instead of driving to the bank, do you use mobile banking to deposit checks into your account(s) via your phone? I am nearly 100% sure that you push a button to open and close your car windows versus rolling those windows manually up and down.
If you answered yes to some or all of those queries, then congratulations! You are not a luddite! You have accepted the new world order, in which your life is easier and much more efficient.
So, I will go back to my original question, which is:
Why are you still stuck on-premises when the cloud is better for your business?
But I do not want to lose sight of my ultimate goal to tell you about Microsoft’s new Bridge to the Cloud. So, before I delve into all the ways that cloud ERP is better for your business, I want to tell you why now is the perfect time to transition to the cloud:

Are you ready to cross the Bridge to the Cloud?
Are you ready to take advantage of the 60% promotional discount?
I do not want to offend anyone, but I must say that if you are considering a move to cloud ERP, this promotion from Microsoft is so incredible that you would be a fool not to, at the very least, consider it.
Customers can enroll in the promotion for an initial 1-year period with the option to renew for an additional three years, resulting in a total possible term length of four years at the promotional price.
For example, the Bridge to the Cloud promotional price for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central online licenses for Premium Users is $40 compared to the $100 standard Commercial list price.
Who Is Eligible for Bridge to the Cloud?
Just about everyone! If you are currently running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premises, Dynamics GP, Dynamics NAV, or Dynamics SL, you are eligible.
