Background of the Study
Enterprise systems are critical tools for managing business operations and integrating various departments within an organization. Traditionally, businesses relied on on-premise enterprise systems, where all hardware and software were hosted internally within the organization's premises (Michell, 2024). However, the increasing demand for flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency has driven many businesses to adopt cloud-based enterprise systems, where resources are hosted remotely and accessed over the internet.
In Gombe State, businesses are at different stages of adopting cloud-based systems. While larger enterprises have shifted to the cloud, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) still rely on traditional on-premise systems due to concerns about cost, security, and lack of technical expertise. This study compares the performance of on-premise versus cloud-based enterprise systems in Gombe State, focusing on factors such as cost, scalability, security, and system performance.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing trend towards cloud adoption, many businesses in Gombe State remain hesitant to transition from on-premise systems due to concerns regarding data security, internet reliability, and long-term costs. This study aims to evaluate the relative benefits and challenges of both on-premise and cloud-based enterprise systems, assessing which option better meets the needs of businesses in Gombe State.
