I have multiple companies but I will probably just move the most active one over to the cloud. That way the accountants can do things without my involvement.

LOL It's all about "value" for me.... spending over $3,000/year to have Intuit host my QB files is just dumb. I can buy their 3-user package for $400 and run that for 2-3 years before having to upgrade... saving me over $5,000 in two years. :) Travis On 11/1/2016 1:59 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: You don't keep money by spending it.

You have to pay the same price for each company... so if you have more than one or two companies, it's MUCH cheaper to run your own version on a dedicated server. I'd love to move everything to their cloud service... but I have over 10 companies that use QB... $30/month x 10 = TOO EXPENSIVE.

I'm happy with it because I don't have to deal with supporting it anymore lol. -Sean On Tuesday, November 1, 2016, Chuck McCown <[email protected]> wrote: I presume you mean you moved QB to the Intuit cloud. How much does that cost? They take care of backups etc I would assume? How difficult was it to make the transition? I presume your accountant can get right in without having to create and transfer accountant copies of the DB?

I really don't want to get Windows server 2012 and try to figure out the while terminal services thing with licensing. I was thinking it might just be easier since I only need one or two people to remote in just to get some headless PC's and sit them in a corner somewhere. Probably a bad idea but any thoughts? The specs from QB are: a.. Windows Vista SP2, 7 SP1, 8.1 Update 1, or Windows 10(32-bit & 64-bit) b.. Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, 2012 R2 c.. 2.4 GHz processor d.. 4 GB of RAM e.. 2.5 GB disk space recommended f.. 1024x768 or higher screen resolution, extended monitor is supported g.. 4x DVD-ROM drive -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
