Why spend
when you can save it?
You dont need to invest in IT infrastructure such as
hardware, middleware, network, etc. You dont need to
invest in a database or operating system either.
Since the solution is offered on a subscription basis, you
dont have to pay license fees or AMC. Instead, you will only
incur operating expenditure. Based on your usage, you will
be paying only for the services used and nothing more.
Since the solution is operated on the Internet and is
wholly-managed by us, you dont need an IT team to
maintain your ERP, nor pay for version upgrades. As
maintenance, security and business continuity are all
part-and-parcel of the offering, there are no hidden costs to
worry about.
Because of its milestone-based deployment capabilities,
your system can be set up within weeks. Moreover, Ramco
ERP Suite is very easy and intuitive to use, and does not
require extensive training. Your employees can start using
the solution immediately.
