Preparing for the Cloud: EAM System Considerations and Opportunities
What do you need to know when considering taking your EAM system to the cloud? What are the infrastructure differences and options? This webinar will cover definitions of approaches (on-prim, co-location, leased server space) and what are some of the typical software options. Is it better to bring your own licenses (BYOL) versus leasing (SaaS)? What are other considerations around connectivity and security? We will introduce currently available solutions and the intended resultant benefits, as well as common hosting infrastructure providers and some of the benefits of hosting.
What are the perceived benefits of having your EAM system hosted?
- Scalability
- Built-in redundancy and failover
- Reduced infrastructure cost

What We Cover:
- Typical components of a cloud hosted environment
- How to make the process transparent to end users
