As I work from home, I see many field service workers coming and going during the day… from plumbers and electricians to renewable energy consultants to bathroom installers. Recently, I have begun to take a more active interest in their systems. Are they using a clipboard, a phone, laptop or tablet? It’s amazing how much information you can gather by just observing.

Would it be fair to assume that the companies with the clipboards and the pens are not as professional as the companies with all the technology? I’m not sure I can leap to that conclusion just from my small amount of observation, but there are definite benefits that companies can derive by having the most efficient tools at their disposal.

The software industry also has it's own set of pecularities from pay-as-you-go billing, revenue recognition and project accounting just to name a few. 

Software companies today need to keep a very close eye on their business metrics such as financial numbers, sales productivity, service effectiveness and customer satisfaction. 

There are so many challenges facing software companies from squeezed profit margins, customers changing expectations, regulatory compliance and retaining customers within a pay-as-you-go model.

That's why so many software companies have achieved more efficient and agile business operations by using cloud-based ERP.
