In Switzerland's technological landscape, the Cloud has emerged as a major catalyst for transforming businesses of all sizes and in all sectors. Among the most influential suppliers of Cloud ERP, the Forterro group stands out for its ProConcept Industrial ERP, hosted by Amazon Web Services in Switzerland. Its ability to deliver innovative, scalable solutions meets the complex needs of Swiss businesses.
With growth in Cloud ERP estimated at 13.6% per year worldwide up to 2029, Switzerland is no exception to the trend.
How does a Cloud player like Forterro respond to the rapidly changing environment? What progress has ERP made? What advantages does Cloud ERP offer manufacturers?
Manufacturing industries are increasingly aware of the challenges involved in managing their technical infrastructure. Between the investment required to acquire and renew equipment, and the difficulty of adjusting resources to meet needs, the challenge is considerable. Neglecting the operational costs and time invested in crucial tasks such as updates, backups and security enhancements would be a huge mistake. These aspects, which are often underestimated, could become real obstacles to the growth and efficiency of a manufacturing industry.
All these aspects require effective management and constant attention, which can quickly turn into a headache for many companies. Fortunately, innovative solutions are emerging to simplify and optimise this management, enabling companies to concentrate more on their core business.
Hosting ProConcept ERP in the Cloud enables companies to significantly reduce their infrastructure and maintenance costs. Thanks to an elastic business model, resources can be adapted in real time to actual needs, offering a perfect balance between performance and profitability. When you choose an ERP dedicated to manufacturers, combined with the best practices of the Cloud pioneer, you benefit from cost optimisation without compromising on performance.
Users can access Cloud ERP from anywhere at any time with just an internet connection, making it easy to manage operations even when they're out of the office. Employees can work on the move, access data in real time and make decisions more quickly. ProConcept offers advanced security services to protect their work. This includes features such as data encryption and authentication of access even from mobile devices.
Adopting ProConcept ERP in the Cloud offers a multitude of significant advantages. The manufacturers work on a robust infrastructure, with secure data centres in Switzerland, managed back-ups, continuous monitoring and advanced protection measures against cyber-attacks. Thanks to the expertise of the leader in hosting, ProConcept guarantees compliance with international security standards, reinforcing the company's conformity with industrial regulations, a significant advantage in the event of an audit...
Choosing ProConcept in the Cloud frees you from the constraints of recruiting cyber-security specialists, while benefiting from best practice in the market.
Hosting ERP in the Cloud offers manufacturers a number of advantages. For example, ProConcept provides automatic 'software' update services, notably to manage the computing, storage, network and security capacities on which the ERP system depends. The highly redundant environment of the Cloud enables these updates, with the guarantee that the ERP continues to operate without interruption. In the event of an incident, rapid recovery capability minimises downtime, ensuring maximum availability of critical ERP services.
Another major advantage is that the Cloud more easily integrates emerging technologies such as IoT, AI and other services such as document management (EDM).
By adopting a high-quality Cloud-hosted ERP, you can benefit from the seamless integration of Industry 4.0 technologies and gain a significant competitive advantage, such as predictive data analysis. Swiss manufacturers who make this choice quickly will find it easier to anticipate demand, control their stock levels or optimise their processes to cut costs.
IT teams are freed from infrastructure constraints, saving valuable time that can be reinvested in higher added-value projects. Managing business needs becomes the priority, boosting the company's responsiveness to unprecedented levels.
In a rapidly changing environment, Swiss companies have no choice but to outdo themselves if they want to stay in the race. They must navigate with agility through the turbulence caused by crises such as inflation, supply chain disruption and financial instability.
Adopting an industrial Cloud ERP like ProConcept hosted on AWS represents much more than simply modernising your infrastructure. It's a bold vision that propels Swiss companies towards agile, adaptive, efficient management that is resolutely focused on innovation.
