What is QuickBooks Hosting on the Cloud?
- Access cloud accounting practice on-the-go!
QuickBooks hosting is essentially the practice of installing the licensed copies of the desktop version of the QuickBooks on virtual cloud servers. A very popular and widely used accounting application deployment technique, QuickBooks cloud hosting services allow multiple users to access the hosted application and company files remotely with the same desktop feel and features of the desktop version with added compatibility, scalability, flexibility, and security advantages. Cloud-based QuickBooks comes with two options: shared and dedicated hosting, each having their own benefits.
What makes cloud-hosted QuickBooks a viable option for modern businesses is the fact that it eradicates the need of having an elaborative IT infrastructure in-house. Not only does it help you save some capital investment, but also frees you from the hassles related to the maintenance and management of server resources. Data security is another major aspect that is well-covered with cloud-based QuickBooks. A reliable service provider with HIPAA, HI-TECH, PCI DSS and SSAE-18 certification offers enterprise-level protection like end-to-end data encryption, multi-factor authentication, network firewalls, and intrusion detection and prevention systems to safeguard your confidential business files and data from cyberattacks.
