Quickbooks Hosting - For a Better Bottom-line

By John Adams


Maybe you've heard, you could use a good QuickBooks hosting solution and didn't know what it meant or if it even applied to your business. Or, it is possible to have many work locations but to unite all of them onto a single Cloud hosting data platform while assembling it in an easiest workable way?

An Easy Way to Visualize Quickbooks Hosting.

Think about sitting down at your desktop or laptop computer and beginning work by logging on to QuickBooks from your back porch. It doesn't matter where you are located, nor does it matter where your staff is located. If you have an access to internet, then you have an access to QuickBooks.

You can get an idea of hosted QuickBooks when you visualize this. There is no necessity to have servers or an IT department to implement it.

Now concentrate on your current configurations to use the QuickBooks. WAN, VPN connections, office servers, remote desktop connections, and terminal services are most likely phrases you have heard, but possibly not understood, in relation to connecting with your QuickBooks files.

The newly introduced Cloud application fulfils all your requirements so, none of that is required. The Cloud hosting service IS your IT department. That's right, you are outsourcing all the geeky IT stuff that is needed to make all of this work to a company known as a QuickBooks hosting service. You won't have to lift a finger because the experts do all the work.

eDashboard is a QuickBooks hosting solution and hosts Sage, Lacerte, Peachtree etc are various application hosting plans. It can work with QuickBooks Pro, Premier or Enterprise software, so you have flexibility to meet the needs of your business. Hosting other software that can work with QuickBooks like Fishbowl Inventory, SmartVault, QVinci can be offered by it additionally in case you require it.

Is it expensive to use a quickbooks hosting service? We can ask in a different way about the cost, both hard and soft, for keeping your present QuickBooks configuration in running condition. Those costs will get reflected in your profit and loss report now itself though they may not be directly visible to you. Many businesses run in-house IT as they feel it is necessary for them to do so. It does not set the business apart. So why do it? Why invest those resources, and that time and energy in building an IT infrastructure that doesn't differentiate you in whatever the core value of your business is? You're much better off taking those resources and that management time and focusing on new customers, new products, new differentiation, than worrying about building an IT organization just so you can run your in-house application. Software-as-a-Service replaces IT. You are avoiding all that cost and hassle for things like meetings, capacity planning, and IT budgeting. The cost depends on services you deem necessary.

Of course, using Cloud as a hosting service has its costs. Just be sure to make an apples-to-apples comparison when you are evaluating your options. Remember to add the convenience factor when you are doing the calculations.
