Popular Misconceptions
• “Hosted ERP Solutions Provide Only Basic ERP
Functionality”
• “Hosted ERP Solutions Can’t Be Customized”
• “It’s Difficult to Integrate Hosted ERP Systems with Other
Systems”
• “If the Internet Goes Down, Our Business Goes Down”
• “With a Hosted ERP Solution, Our Data Isn’t as Secure as
it is Onsite”
Now, with the hosted solution, the
partner broadcasts updates in half a
weekend day and needs just one
systems administrator to monitor the
process—a substantial savings of cost
and labor.”
Eva Wagenpfeil, Business Development
Manager, INFOMA
To start, Radiant Technologies
deployed Microsoft Dynamics NAV
as a hosted solution to save Blue
Sun the costs of an on-premises
solution and the expenses and
reconfiguration effort related to
hardware changes. Later, Blue Sun
streamlined its hardware
environment and brought Microsoft
Dynamics NAV in-house

Next Steps
• Determine / Review your Cloud strategy – what does it take in going
to the cloud (at Sales, GTM, Technical, etc. )
• Determine whether you want to become a Service Provider yourself
or decide to engage with an existing hoster?
• Talk to your PAM if support from Microsoft is needed in connecting
with hoster and/or seeking access to content support?
• Share your feedback with us? We want to hear from you!
