One key benefit of remote QuickBooks® access is the ability to increase your
revenue by serving more customers in more locations with less travel time and travel
expense. However, the available remote-access solutions vary greatly.
The following sections compare QuickBooks Hosting solutions, like our offering,
with QuickBooks Online edition, remote-access web plug-ins, and the built-in remote
access features of the Full-Featured versions of QuickBooks. The comparison places
special focus on how well the varied remote access solutions support outsourced
bookkeeping. To learn what makes Right Networks the best, See the Proven Provider tab.
Ideally, remote QuickBooks access (QuickBooks Hosting) should work just like QuickBooks running on
your local PC.
- QuickBooks Online edition:
-
To switch from QuickBooks Pro, Premier, or Enterprise to QuickBooks Online edition,
you have to learn an entirely new interface and you give up several important QuickBooks
features.
- Built-In Remote Access:
-
The remote access feature built into QuickBooks is available only in the Premier
edition and uses WebEx to allow only one user at-a-time to take control over
one remote computer. A user must be present at each computer to set up each session,
taking turns following the instructions Intuit provides in a 17 page manual.
Because a user must be present at the remote computer, this feature is fine for
demos or interactive reviews of financials, but is unsuitable for a wide-range of
remote access needs including outsourced bookkeeping.
- Web Plug-Ins:
-
There are several web plug-ins that provide various levels of remote QuickBooks
access, but none makes the full features of QuickBooks available remotely.
Web plug-ins are intended to provide remote access to only a limited set of features
whose access is required remotely by a specific set of users.
- OUR SOLUTION - QuickBooks Hosting:
-
QuickBooks Hosting provides the closest to the ideal for ease-of-use because,
unlike the other approaches, you actually run the same QuickBooks as you do on your
local PC, but it is running on a remote server, inside a "virtual PC" - a computer
we set up just for you.
A remote access solution should not take away features, especially from my customers.
- QuickBooks Online edition:
-
In addition to having to learn an entirely new interface in order to run QuickBooks
Online edition, you lose several key features of QuickBooks Pro, Premium,
and Enterprise (and even Basic) editions.
- No purchase orders or inventory tracking,
- No job costing or estimating,
- No customized price levels,
- No integration with ACT!, Word, or Outlook,
- No online bill payment,
- No multi-currency support,
- No true payroll integration (no integrated payroll input),
- No support for multiple companies in one subscription, and
- No forecasts, business plans, sales order tracking, or inventory tracking.
- Built-In Remote Access:
-
The remote access feature built into QuickBooks makes many of the standard features
of QuickBooks accessible remotely as long as you can get a user at the remote location
to help you set up the session and relinquish control of the computer until you
are through with it. Having to give up a computer during remote access sessions
can be a significant inconvenience to your customers.
- Web Plug-Ins:
-
Web plug-ins are intended to provide remote access to only a limited set of features
whose access is required remotely by a specific set of users. Therefore, web plug-ins,
by design, leave a lot of features behind.
- OUR SOLUTION - QuickBooks Hosting:
-
With QuickBooks Hosting, you actually run the same QuickBooks as you do on your
local PC, so all of the features you need are available remotely, exactly where
you expect them.
Is PC maintenance what you really want to be doing?
- QuickBooks Online edition:
-
QuickBooks Online simplifies PC maintenance because you run it via a web browser.
There is no need to install or maintain any version of QuickBooks on any of your
PCs. In fact, with Online edition, there is no benefit to installing QuickBooks
on any of your PCs because Online edition cannot provide a QuickBooks data file
that you could otherwise use on your local PC if your Internet connection goes down.
- Built-In Remote Access:
-
Of the alternatives explored here, the remote access feature built into QuickBooks
is the most difficult to maintain. You not only have to install and maintain all
the necessary, matching QuickBooks versions on every PC involved in the remote interaction,
but you also have to set them up for WebEx use.
- Web Plug-Ins:
-
Web plug-ins do not add any complexity to PC maintenance since, like QuickBooks
Online edition, they are used via a web browser. For users that need full-featured
access to QuickBooks, however, web plug-ins do not remove any complexity, as these
users will still need to install and maintain the appropriate QuickBooks version(s)
on their PC(s).
- OUR SOLUTION - QuickBooks Hosting:
-
QuickBooks Hosting simplifies PC maintenance because, like QuickBooks Online, you
run it via a web browser. There is no need to install or maintain any version of
QuickBooks on any of your PCs. However, if you want to use your QuickBooks data
when you are off-line (to view reports, etc), you can. QuickBooks Hosting solutions
allow you to download your QuickBooks data file from the server and use it from
a locally installed version of QuickBooks.
I know that a data-center offers the best reliability, but I still want a local
copy of my data.
- QuickBooks Online edition:
-
QuickBooks Online gives you data center reliability, but doesn't give you a local
copy of all of your data.
- Built-In Remote Access:
-
Of the alternatives explored here, the remote access feature built into QuickBooks
is the most likely to have reliability problems because more systems must be working
properly for it all to function: the local PC, the remote PC, and the WebEx system
that connects them. While there are local copies of the data, none reside in a data
center, so the responsibility for backing up the data is left to the user (another
place where things can go wrong).
- Web Plug-Ins:
-
Web plug-ins are as reliable as the web server on which they run. Whether the QuickBooks
data that they use is backed-up or whether you have access to a local copy depends
on the offering.
- OUR SOLUTION - QuickBooks Hosting:
-
With QuickBooks Hosting, you get data center reliability AND the ability to keep
a local copy of your data.
Right Networks provides the reliability behind world-class services including FileTRUST,
relied on by Bank of America with the secure storage and sharing of corporate data.
Right Networks powers services directly and indirectly for a satisfied, growing
community of thousands from individuals to Fortune 100 companies.
Right Network's QuickBooks® Hosting offering is delivered from top-of-the-line data centers
that provides true enterprise-class scale and reliability including: full-time security,
video surveillance, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), back-up generators, fully
redundant power and network systems, advanced network firewalls, smoke detection
and fire suppression systems, flood detection systems, and daily back-ups of QuickBooks
data. Our Internet connections deliver 10MB/s continuous with burst throughput up
to 100MB/s.
If you offer outsourced bookkeeping services or are considering offering such services,
you understand the motivation for outsourcing: your customers can improve their
business focus and save money by having you manage their books.
The same principle applies to the technology required to support outsourced bookkeeping:
you can improve your focus on bookkeeping and save money by having a technology
company manage the necessary computer systems.
Setting up a secure, reliable data center requires a significant investment in money
to purchase server-class computer, networking, and firewall systems. This investment
is dwarfed by the investment in time required to learn the technology so that you
can purchase the right systems, set them up correctly, and keep them running properly
and securely. In addition, the on-going costs of sufficient bandwidth to keep your
customers happy can be prohibitive to many companies.
Right Networks has developed the extensive expertise and proprietary application
compatibility software required to provide a secure, reliable QuickBooks Hosting
solution. In addition, Right Networks has entered into the legal agreements with
software vendors that are required to host applications for external users. By teaming
with Right Networks, you can avoid the cost and distraction of setting up a data
center yourself.
