In this approach, a company decides to buy a Cloud package or system from a vendor. Unlike the custom development, which is designed with flexibility in mind and fits exactly into the business need of the company, a brought system can be inflexible as it is designed to be sold to various other companies and so it provides you with the same functionalities as everyone.
One of the main advantages of buying a Cloud solution, is that unlike the custom development that can take a long time to be developed and implemented, when buying a Cloud solution, it is already built and ready to be installed with ability to configure a limited business requirements.
The most valuable features in this solution are:
- Cloud Solution enables accessing the system from the internet, with no need to be within the company network.
- Data Security
- Implements best practices

- Avoiding the Backup and Restore issue.
