ERP vendors are notorious for creating a false sense of urgency with arbitrary support deadlines, promises of expanded functionality, and artificial intelligence to force customers to the Cloud.
- Vendors are not pushing you to the Cloud for your benefit.
- Just because a vendor is sunsetting support doesn’t mean you don’t have options.
- One of the worst options is paying the vendor a premium for extended support beyond the drop-dead date.

- If you have a highly customized system that incorporates your business processes and provides you with a competitive advantage, moving to the cloud could be detrimental.
Do you really need to move to the Cloud? The answer might surprise you.
