Difference Comparison of SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Solutions Based on Cloud ERP Systems: A Review

the aims of this paper are to make a good difference comparison of the different cloud ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems and give advice and recommendations on the use of any kind of system. ERP systems are now the backbone of many companies and organizations to collect business data and information from a different department in a single database and allow employees and business managers to generate reports that simplify business processes. Cloud system computing is growing and is starting to get into more and more corporations. The significant and most tested cloud systems allow more businesses to gain confidence in the clouds. Traditional ERP systems are hosted locally in every corporation where they themselves need to maintain the system. Since the growth of cloud computing, are beginning to be developed as cloud applications. By removing the maintenance responsibilities of business equipment and tools, the cloud-based ERP system is on an upward trend. This thesis contains a comparison of different ERP cloud systems. This paper is a technical survey, which will give an overview of three main Cloud-ERP service providers. The three systems, which will be analyzed, are SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Oracle ERP Cloud.
