True Cloud vs. Fake Cloud–How to Identify and Understand the Differences in Cloud Software is a free guide written by the MIBAR team, and designed to help decision makers learn about one of the most important choices they will need to make when choosing ERP software, deployment options.
"During the rise of the cloud in the late 90s and early 2000s, traditional vendors ignored the warning signs surrounding the disruptive nature of cloud-based software-as-a-service platforms," said Derek Nachimow, Practice Manager at MIBAR. "Ignoring the shift in the marketplace, many were left scrambling in the last decade, and creating something we like to call 'fake cloud' solutions. We wrote this guide to help businesses understand the difference."
