Accounting Software on a Cloud Desktop

Now with Super-Fast SSD Storage

If you run a small business, you would like to improve the productivity of your accounting team. How about providing secure online access from anywhere to their favorite Windows-based accounting software? The web-based online versions of popular accounting software such as QuickBooks, Sage, and MYOB still lack the full capabilities of your desktop software. And you do not want to lose the investment over the years in learning the ins and outs of your desktop software.  Based on such needs, we have designed a perfect solution for you.

We can load your favorite software onto our Cloud Desktops, which your team can access from anywhere anytime through popular devices based on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android. The software works just like before with full functionality.  And you don't have to worry about managing Windows desktops and servers, network, firewalls, and backups. You can focus on your core business while we take care of the IT.  Sign up now or chat with our sales staff. We are available 24/7 via phone, chat, and email.
