You see the benefits of cloud migration with your Basware application, but you don't yet know what this means for your business? There are a number of factors that affect the speed and success of implementation. Martijn Hoogendijk and Christian Willemsen of ICreative discussed the consequences of a cloud migration during a webinar.
Apart from the fact that official support for Basware On-Premise is ending in the foreseeable future, there are more reasons to move to Basware's cloud application. Using a chart, Hoogendijk shows that Basware SaaS is on the rise much more than the on-premise application when it comes to innovation, compatibility, flexibility and maturity.
'The cloud application offers more flexibility because the number of licenses is infinite; after all, it's transaction-based so it doesn't matter so much how many users there are. Modernize delivers you access to your invoices anytime, anywhere from any device.'
Finally, security is an important incentive to switch. In his presentation, Hoogendijk shows how this is reflected in the IT landscape and which management tasks are shifting to the cloud.
Consequences
'As a result of a switch, the service changes,' Willemsen reveals. He shows how this has a positive impact on maintenance downtime, which remains very limited. Furthermore, part of the - perhaps less visible - management costs shift to the cloud and license costs disappear. 'The level of automation becomes many times higher,' Willemsen says.
Finally, Hoogendijk explains what a possible path might look like. Roughly speaking, three scenarios are conceivable: total unburdening which makes p2p integration possible; joint efforts which lead to an optimizing implementation and fast delivery in which the as-is situation forms the starting point. As the user organization assumes more responsibilities, the overall lead time can decrease.
An important message Hoogendijk and Willemsen add is that switching to Basware SaaS requires relatively little effort from the IT department and is less complicated than is often thought.
