Hybrid ERP: Understanding Its Uses, Benefits and Challenges

Hybrid ERP combines on-premises ERP for common business processes like accounting and HR, with cloud applications – typically software as a service (SaaS) – for more specialized functions, such as customer experience or field-service management -- or even a second ERP for a new subsidiary.
Why deploy hybrid ERP, and what type of enterprise architecture do you need?
In this podcast, Iain Saunderson, chief technology officer of Spinnaker Support, explains the practical issues of hybrid ERP.
Saunderson has over 30 years of experience implementing complex technologies across a wide variety of commercial and government verticals. He has served in leadership roles in companies including Oracle and P2 Energy Solutions. In 2015, he joined Spinnaker Support, a third-party provider of maintenance and managed services for SAP and Oracle ERP and databases as well as Salesforce CRM. 
Other topics discussed in the podcast include:
* How hybrid ERP can extend the life of on-premises ERP
* Whether companies use hybrid ERP to ease their transition to all-cloud ERP
* Integration challenges of deploying hybrid ERP
* How to decide which business processes to keep on premises and which ones should run in the cloud
