Why does it make sense to opt for cloud based payroll software?



Payroll is an important aspect of running a business but many small businesses have been reluctant to adopt cloud-based software until recently. But technology has evolved and managing payroll has been easier than ever before.

Moreover, this fact can be solidified as the cloud-based software market is estimated to be worth $17.39 billion by the year 2027. There are multiple benefits of adopting the software and in this blog, we are going to discuss if you should go for cloud-based software or not.

In this regard, you should avail of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, which is a total solution in one power-packed package.

As per Eurostat, 41% of companies in the EU used cloud computing in 2021. Some areas need the usage of cloud computing, such as HCRM and payroll. The global cloud-based payroll software market was projected at around $7.34 billion in 2018. Now, it is expected to reach $17.39 billion by the end of 2027.

Difference between cloud-based and self-hosted payroll software:

Self-hosted software means that you and your team are responsible for administration and maintenance. Moreover, self-hosted software includes server costs and maintenance costs.

However, when it comes to cloud-based software, it is hosted on the server of an external service provider and can be accessed through the cloud by logging into your account online.

It is way cheaper than the cloud than the other one. It is also known as hosted software or manager software. As far as the broad category is concerned, it falls under software as a service.

Cloud-based payroll system is hosted and accessed on a cloud which means that the company using the payroll system needs a computer and a stable Internet connection.

It is a more feasible option when compared to self-hosted payroll full payroll software (which is self-hosted & is run and maintained on internal servers).

You need the necessary server capacities and one needs to be in charge of system security and updating. The need of the hour is cloud-based payroll management and we will dig deeper into the same. Running payroll on the cloud has multiple advantages for the business such as increased efficiency, productivity, enhanced security and fast deployment.
