An effective user in the cloud isn’t enough. Traditional ERP systems achieve greater fit though customizations which are costly and time consuming to create and maintain. Worst of all, they make your system more rigid, making upgrades to the latest functionality incredibly difficult. The QAD Enterprise Platform provides a better way.

The QAD Enterprise Platform was designed to make it simple to deliver functionality unique to each manufacturer’s needs without creating a rigid ERP system in the long-term. This means that future upgrades are not impaired or complicated by enhancements.

With an ERP system at its core, the QAD Enterprise Platform has the proven ability to run mission-critical, complex applications at scale, delivering greater than 99.5% application uptime in the cloud. The QAD Enterprise Platform is cloud independent, allowing QAD to select the best cloud to meet our customers needs over time.

QAD Cloud ERP, QAD Channel Islands and the QAD Enterprise Platform allow manufacturers to maximize the return on their ERP software investment by more easily achieving greater levels of fit to business requirements and rapidly responding to change. This ensures the strategic business alignment of the ERP system now and into the future.
