Abstract

Enterprise resource planning is an organizational management sofware for manag ing the data related to the functioning of an organization in a streamlined manner. - ERP was initially designed for the business and industry sector, but with its wide applications in various sectors, it has been continuously been adopted by organizations of other domains too. A major domain that is quick to adopt the ERP system is the educational sector, wherein the institutions are adopting the ERP systems to manage their resources. ERP systems are majorly based on in house server and need huge investment. Te educational institution has thus been found hesitating to implement the system. A new approach has been to use a Cloud-based ERP rather than use an inhouse-server to store data, as the cloud is being used for reducing the amount of
investment needed for the set-up. Tis research studies data security, threats and risk analysis and concerns of the educational institutions while employing the Cloud-based ERP systems. Also, the authors have suggested a mid-path solution to overcome these concerns and risk factors - A hybrid mode of ERP system combing both the traditional
and cloud-based approach
