Cloud computing: Leveraging state-of-the-art technology

Mr. Ed Anderson – Vice President of Gartner, the information technology research and advisory firm once commented: “The market for cloud services has grown to such an extent that it is now a notable percentage of total IT spending. Furthermore, organizations embracing dynamic, cloud-based operating models position themselves better for cost optimization and increased competitiveness.”

Cloud computing is a term describing the fact that, users can have access to and use software and services in virtual servers (clouds) on the internet easily from any location, without the need for sophisticated technical knowledge or infrastructure investment. Dating back to mid-2007, cloud computing has gradually initiated a “technological revolution” on a global basis. Many technology corporations have since launched diverse cloud-based services and software, satisfying demand from individuals and enterprises in storing and processing a colossal amount of digital data. The central server system is implemented by the service provider(s).

Across the world, cloud computing is widely applied in various sectors, for example Distribution Management System (DMS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Thanks to its profound implications, corporates everywhere can improve their business efficiency as well as reduce costs of investment in servers and human resources.

As for the Vietnam market, cloud computing has attained certain progress, however it is yet to truly bring about a significant “milestone” in supporting enterprises to run their business, distribution and sales management processes effectively. According to a recent announcement by Asia Cloud Computing Association, based on the Cloud Readiness Index 2016, Vietnam only scored 44 marks and ranked 14^th in the Asia – Pacific region, below several other Southeast Asian countries. This further reflects that at the present moment, providers of cloud-based management solutions play a considerably important role.

DMSpro and its trend-setting initiative with S.DMS solution

With early awareness of market potential, DMSpro has become the pioneer to apply cloud computing to distribution management system (DMS) in Vietnam. Additionally, as the only OEM partner recognized in Southeast Asia by SAP – the world-renowned software services “giant”, DMSpro has inherited from the SAP B1 standards and given rise to S.DMS solution(Powered by SAP B1), meeting the distribution and sales management requirements of large manufacturers and distributors.

Accordingly, all data in the supply chain (manufacturers – distributors – outlets) will be managed seamlessly on a real-time level, and stored at the cloud servers of manufacturers. This solution helps companies control distribution and sales activities entirely with high security, flexible accessibility with Internet, compatibility with mobile devices, and reasonable investment expenditures. Besides, what’s prominent is that DMSpro has added distinct features to make the solution suitable for specific management models and cultures in individual industries.
