Data Hosting

Posted on June 17, 2011

Dasmah Accounting is happy to announce a new service that we are offering, data hosting. With this service clients will be able to load their accounting data on our server and access it through the accounting software of their choice. We will also have access to help you and make sure that everything is being entered correctly and to do the accounting and payroll work that you have requested.  For those who use QuickBooks, there is no more sending “accountant’s copies” back and forth.

Another benefit is that we can help you while you are logged in.  We have the capability to “shadow” you.  In other words we can see your screen as you are looking at it and we can see what you are doing. Say you’re working on your data and you come to a transaction where you are unsure how to proceed. All you have to do is call us and we can see what you are doing and advise you on how to enter the transaction. We only do this when asked and you will know when we transfer over because of your screen’s reaction.

Keep in mind that you have full control of your data.  It belongs to you and we are only hosting it to allow you the benefits as mentioned above.

We know that security is a major issue and our system is set up in such a way that you will only have access to your data, and you will not be able to see other clients nor will they be able to see you. Our system is backed up every day and we have the redundancy (multiple elements) in the system so you do not have to worry about losing any of your data.  We also have the anti-virus to protect all of the files. In essence, you will be working off the same server that we do, so you should know that we trust the system.

To access our system, you will use Windows’ “Remote desktop” to log on.  The system is running 24/7 with only occasional down time for upgrades and maintenance. These times are usually on Sunday and will be announced if possible so that you will know ahead of time.  If you have access to the Internet, you have access to your accounting data. It is that easy.

If you would like more information, please contact us and we will answer any questions that you might have.
