Why QuickBooks Terminal Server? Executive Summary

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 01, 2008 -
Michael Block, a Fort Lauderdale QuickBooks CPA provided an Executive Summary on Why QuickBooks Terminal Server:

QuickBooks Terminal Server runs fast because programs and data are the server. Less time is spent on slow network transfers. The QuickBooks Knowledgebase says, except for QuickBooks Terminal Server, "QuickBooks is a multi-user program, as opposed to a "true" network program. Network programs are typically installed on a single server or workstation, and then accessed from that installation by multiple users simultaneously. In contrast, every QuickBooks user on the network must have a separate, licensed copy of QuickBooks installed on their local workstations."

Pro and Premier users can use one fast free QuickBooks Enterprise Database Server Manager. One good server increases speed for all users. They install programs once for all users and fully customize each program once (up to 100 preferences per program). Users backup only one system, for faster and easier backups and remote backups. This
increases safety and security of data, possibly with co=located server, as local systems are very insecure. Users buy fewer copies of programs used only occasionally and use older inexpensive PC, Linux or Mac systems for users, saving upgrade time.

They print on any printer and minimize anti-spyware and anti-virus program cost and time (users need less space). Managers, consultants and senior employees shadow user sessions to help and limit errors, for the fastest, easiest, most efficient and effective collaboration. They better collaborate with accountants, without the need to synchronize files for tax and financial statements. They can even link a Linux server to run 10% - 25% faster and more reliably.

There is better support QuickBooks-add-ons, so QuickBooks automatically does much more for many more users. Never enter data twice and cut Excel, Word, other program and pencil errors. The convenience of data accessibility is total, 24/7, from anywhere, with any basic system. Inexpensive remote experts support and maintain, 24/7, with 15 second response time. Block's fast personal access to top-level Intuit help and executives increases effectiveness, though Intuit only supports terminal server for QuickBooks Enterprise.

This Executive Summary shows there are many very good reasons Why QuickBooks Terminal Server. There are are a wide range of very inexpensive QuickBooks Hosting Costs and QuickBooks Terminal Server Costs, as further posts will show.
