The Benefits of QuickBooks Hosting
Intuit QuickBooks accounting software is extremely popular because it saves time, is easy to use and helps a variety of small- to medium-sized businesses accurately manage their finances. When you have it hosted by a leading application service provider (ASP), you enhance a great product by giving it all of the benefits that cloud computing has to offer.
Anywhere, anytime access. Saves time.
What if you could take the version of QuickBooks you have on your office computer with you wherever you go. With hosting, you can. No matter where you are in the world, as long as you have access to the internet you have access to your apps, data and files. Hosting is especially great for QuickBooks, because it lets accountants, bookkeepers and business owners all work together in the same files, at the same time no matter where they are geographically. Think of how much time and money you'll save when you no longer need to travel, meet and exchange files.
Outsourced IT. Saves Money
QuickBooks hosting saves money because you no longer need to purchase run and maintain costly servers and hardware in-house. When you tap into a cloud computing resource, you take advantage of a utility service that gives you the equivalent of your own IT department, but at a fraction of what most businesses pay. Image how much it would cost if you purchased your own turbine and set up a dam just to get electricity. That wouldn't make sense or be very cost effective. Cloud computing follows the same principals that other utilities do. Instead of ten different businesses buying ten different servers, paying for ten different IT support visits and then continuing to run and maintain their IT, they can now get hosting as a service from a provider. With enterprise-class technology, a qualified provider can host QuickBooks data and files for ten different businesses on one server. When upgrades to software and security are needed, it's done only once with across-the-board results. Plus, when you have questions or need support, the response times from providers are typically faster and more effective than what businesses are used to. With hosting as an option, these ten businesses are now able to pool their resources to save time and money.
Safety and security. Protects your data and files.
Not only is 24/7/365 support a benefit of having your QuickBooks hosted, there's also the back-up and disaster recovery to consider. How many businesses do you know that back-up their data and files off-site? What would happen if there was a fire or flood at your business? With application hosting, your QuickBooks data and files are safe, secure and backed-up. If the unthinkable should happen, you'll always be able to recover data, and start working again with your QuickBooks data. As previously mentioned, the benefit of having your IT outsourced is that you get to utilize services typically found only at large businesses. This includes being able to take advantage of enterprise-class firewalls, data encryption, password protection and other measures implemented by certified engineers. In short, the safety and security of working in the cloud is more advanced than what your typical business can afford to do in-house. With hosting services, advanced safety, security and data back-ups are now something that anyone can afford.
