Managing IT infrastructure is often one of the biggest challenges (and expenses) for small and medium-sized businesses. From hardware to software licenses, maintenance, and hiring IT staff—it all adds up fast.

But there's a better, more affordable way to run your business.

Say hello to ERPNext—an open-source ERP—and run it seamlessly on the cloud. With House of FOSS, you get the power of open-source without the technical hassle.

This blog explains how deploying ERPNext on the cloud can significantly cut infrastructure expenses—especially for SMBs—and how House of FOSS makes it easy to get started, even if you're non-technical.

🔍 What is ERPNext?

ERPNext is a powerful open-source ERP system that helps you manage your entire business—finance, sales, inventory, HR, payroll, and more—all in one dashboard.

No license fees. No vendor lock-ins. Total freedom to customize.

It’s built for businesses that want flexibility, control, and cost-efficiency.

☁️ Why Cloud Deployment Makes Sense (and Saves Money)

When you deploy ERPNext on cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure, the savings are real and immediate:

1. 🚫 No Hardware Headaches

Forget buying and maintaining costly servers. With cloud, you rent computing power on demand—no upfront investment required.

2. 🔧 Maintenance? Handled.

Cloud providers take care of updates, patches, and infrastructure. You don’t need a big IT team just to keep things running.

3. 📊 Pay Only for What You Use

The cloud runs on subscription pricing, so you scale as you grow. No more overpaying for resources you’re not using.

4. 🌱 Lower Energy & Space Costs

No physical servers = no extra electricity bills or cooling systems. It’s lean, green, and office-space friendly.

5. 🛡️ Backups & Recovery Built-In

Most cloud platforms offer automated backup and disaster recovery tools—out of the box. No more sleepless nights over data loss.
