Traditional ERP software is usually based on locally deployed servers, requiring companies to purchase and maintain their own system hardware and software, while SaaS management software uses a cloud-based architecture that eliminates the need for companies to purchase and maintain system hardware and software, and only requires them to rent the cloud services they need.
In addition, the data security of traditional ERP software mainly depends on the data management and security measures of the enterprise, while the data security of SaaS management software is higher because the provider usually provides a series of security measures to ensure the security and integrity of the data.
In terms of customization capabilities, traditional ERP software is highly customizable and can be developed according to the specific needs of an enterprise, whereas SaaS management software is relatively less customizable, but offers a wealth of configurable options that can meet the basic needs of most enterprises.
In addition, traditional ERP software is relatively less scalable because they are usually deployed based on specific hardware and software environments, while SaaS management software is more scalable because they are based on a cloud-based architecture that allows for the flexibility to scale resources based on the needs of the organization.
In terms of deployment, traditional ERP software deployment usually requires companies to install and configure the software on their own, whereas SaaS management software uses a plug-and-play approach, where companies simply access the provider's cloud services over the Internet.
In addition, traditional ERP software has higher maintenance costs, requiring companies to hire specialized IT staff to maintain and manage the system, while SaaS management software has lower maintenance costs because the provider is responsible for system maintenance and updates.
