I.

On the Basis of Pricing : - Cloud software is priced under a monthly /annual subscripton, with additional recurring fees for support, training and updates - On-premise software is generally priced a one-tme perpetual license fee (based on organization size/users), there are recurring fees for support, training and updates III. On the Basis of Expenditure : On premise systems are a capital expenditure (one large investment upfront) Cloud-based systems, are an operatng expenditure (an additional overhead cost the organization will continue to pay. The amount for companies with a large number of licenses may at times be more than the on-premise ERP.)

-III. On the Basis of Expenditure : - On-premise can be customized to your business flow, specific industry requirements and business needs - Cloud ERPs provide fixed functionalities with very less scope of customization
