The benefit of the cloud is we no longer have to update versions of the quagmire of products we have. Updates to the main product take months to prepare for and 2 days to install and test.
In their cloud, we no longer have to do this and that is the 100% gain to our department.
If we get APIs to access our data that would fantastic. There is a messaging system, ION, that will move work for us and allow us to pick up actions or create them ourselves. This is on a single transaction basis. Of course, we need to iterate through records to identify what needs to be tweaked. That is our primary challenge as of today. :)

Our ERP vendor wants us to jump into the cloud in a multi-tenant data environment.
Sucks for us having written many applications that read that data and present it to users to get things done that the ERP doesn't do today.
Apply monthly price updates on items due to what the contract has for that customer. We then write those updates back to the ERP as well as send out a notification letter to every customer about price updates.
When your data is in THIS cloud you give up the right to query it. Do they give access to APIs to pull what we need? Well they will think about that is what I thought I just heard.
Happy Happy Joy Joy it looks like the next 2 quarters are going to be learning how to waste time on phone calls.
