I agree Ed that cloud is a misnomer. I have heard that we are going to a SaaS and the vendor is responsible for everything. That scares me big time, in that too many issues come up that require us to reset services or reboot the whole ERP maybe every other month at worst. In reality, we have locks set in one system because of human operation of closing the order to move it to Warehousing. Our Logistics service may want to tell us what carrier to use and the record in SO is already closed. Or we are printing checks/invoices and a print job fails to close completely grabbing 25% of cpu in a failed operation that needs to be manually cleaned on the server. I was looking at defining our DW in our own separate cloud and identify an ION pump to push nightly updates there.
