Gartner research has a very favorable opinion of Softeon’s WMS. Check out the research here: Gartner Critical Capabilities for Warehouse Management Systems 2022 WMS stands for warehouse management system, which is a set of policies and processes intended to organize the work of a warehouse or distribution center, and ensure that the facility can operate efficiently and effectively. Cloud computing is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer. Cloud computing has many advantages and technology leaders like Softeon architect their solutions to work seamlessly with the cloud. The WMS market was slow to move to the cloud, but now that some of the original concerns are recognized as overblown, the industry is embracing cloud computing. Advantages of cloud computing: Lower Cost Implementations: More Rapid Time-to-Value: Lower Upfront Costs vs licence: Much Lower Internal IT Costs Over Time.
