Abstract
Migration to the cloud is something most enterprises are doing right now, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications form the bulk of these projects. Essentially, the migration of critical business applications is happening because on-premise solutions are becoming very occur to move to the next generation of ERP. Also, cloud computing brings major improvements to the ERP; these improvements include mobility and its benefits, data analysis, and collaboration and sharing in government and industry. Furthermore, factors such as time, training, and extensive re-engineering activities make the migration process time consuming and error-prone. Although many research discuss Cloud ERP system adoption and advantages and disadvantages of switching to a Cloud ERP system, only a few specifically address the resolution of these constraints. This chapter presents the process of migrating applications to a different type of cloud. In addition, on the basis of a review of the literature and related emerging methodologies, we give several methodologies used to migrate from an on-premise ERP system to Cloud ERP. And based on refactoring strategy, we explain why companies need to do refactoring before moving to the cloud, we also present ERP refactoring strategies and migration feasibility. Finally, we propose one generic methodology for migrating legacy ERP systems to the cloud.
