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.

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. :)

Why .. it's almost as if the cloud *isn't* the best solution for all use cases.

The Director is looking at the Cloud in a financial way that "appears" to be positive to our bottom line. That is not only in fees but in TIME that her staff is attempting to identify what if anything is wrong for users.
We are a small shop of IT for 22 plants who use a great deal of automation in the MFG process generating finished goods, food containers, that are sold to the edible oil industry. You cannot call us up and just order something. We have no inventory of FG to speak of. All product is blown this or last week and will be delivered this or next week. Our customers are only placed on 1-2-5 year contracts to supply them with containers. We know what they want before they ask for it via a PO because of our long-time relationship with them in 10-20+ years of service.
The IT department has created a lot of products that are external to the ERP that fulfills users demands for information or manipulation. A DW is one thing, Specifications on all our items is another. Leveraging sales data into CRM is a third and within CRM we have 4 products that deal with injuries or defects or complaints.
We have a version of software issue and have had that for 10+ years. the ERP itself is rarely updated, every 4-5 years. Between those updates, we add in other products by the same vendor to work with our "system of record". The version of the add on expects a newer version of ERP is the rock we bang our heads against all the time. That being said if the vendor could update the stack on their side monthly or as needed we do not have to get into doing that ever again. That is a savings of thousands of man hours across the team over 3-6 months.
This is the low hanging fruit the Director is attempting to harvest for us and our company.

There have been more than one of my clients who make the move to the cloud only to find that key functionality that is required for their business to function properly is lost. This might be due to loss of direct access to their data, or worse, the cloud version of the ERP isn't nearly as complete or mature as the self-hosted product. Either way, it costs way more than just time and money. Sanity and common sense are often victims as well.
No one has ever been able to satifactorily explain to me why remote hosting your data on a server you do not control, in a place where you do not have physical access, managed by people you did not hire, connected via a service provided by a third party provider with crappy customer service and paid for on a monthly fee basis was EVER a good idea for ANY business regardless of the "benefits".
Seems to me, it's like putting your data into a nursing home, trusting the staff to feed and care for your data properly and hoping they keep your data in good shape so you can visit it once in a while.

That is why we are actively looking at what we get and what we lose if we go this route. Our ERP loves the fact that we run on razor blades for them all the F'n time and they charge us less for doing all their dirty work. I have a 4-year-old ERP system on that list. :(
For us to keep the latest version of the ERP is important. It has been talk of the department for the last 7 years I have been working here. In this case of it being on their HW, they have updates happening monthly. AWS is the environment.

When you go Cloud, You have to handle the worst-case scenario when a network partition happens. And what should you do when the network resumes operation after a network partition? How do you sync data between local apps and the cloud apps? It's way too complicated, which translates into extra programming, debugging and testing!
A terminal server is always a better solution, in my limited opinion.

A network partition is always one of those events that we all say OH CRAP to and then pick up the pieces and carry on. As it is always out of our control unless it was our switch/hardware that failed internally.

Terminal Server (TSPlus) has actually extended our VFP ERP life ! But I agree, we have to eventually move into the 'cloud ' as it is expected by more and more younger generation of owners/directors/employees joining our organisation.
Ajit Abraham
To be honest our stack of ERP servers is probably at the 28 separate virtual servers in total just for the applications our ERP provides. No data server in that count, just the farm of servers for ERP apps. From this stack, we use browsers for all access to all systems. All apps are written in java.

Hi Man-wai,
FoxInCloud makes all this very simple: - all user state being stored on server side, in case of server of network outage, user just retries until it’s fixed and resumes everything at the same point without any loss of state or data; - FoxInCloud ships with a VFP database 2-way sync tool over LAN or Web; each party asks the other party for records modified since a given date-time (taking into account time zone and time drift on both sides); the matching set of records is sent through the Network (LAN or Web). If nothing comes back or received records are invalid, process just stops until we take another chance; if sync fails for any reason (such as unique key violation), process also stops. When process stops for any reason, all previous changes are rolled back to keep DB consistency.
All this comes out of the box: no extra programming, debugging and testing!

I believe most shops would just go back to coins and bills so as to keep doing their small business when there was network partition. Or maybe the old way of signing credit cards. :)

What are the negatives of a terminal server solution approach?
Difficult or impossible access to local devices and files is one.
