QuickBooks Hosting - A Superb Financial Solution

QuickBooks software is the most commonly used financial software in small to medium size business organizations. QuickBooks is a very powerful accounting software solution, and can work in a variety of industries and business situations.

Fundamentally, a hosting solution could be the right answer for almost any business. If a business is using QuickBooks, then providing online access to financial data for its financial, professional, or business consultants proves to be a simple, immediate, and cost-efficient answer in order to improve their mutual ability to collaborate or consult on various business issues.

Hosting QuickBooks provides your business numerous benefits.

Accessibility - Anytime, Anywhere

QuickBooks hosting allows you and your clients to access accounting data at any time and from anywhere. This means that client location is no longer a barrier. The finance professional and his /her client, who may be located on opposite sides of the street or opposite ends of the world, still have the same seamless interaction, as if they would have during face to face meeting.

Saves time and money

QuickBooks hosting eliminates the time and expense of upgrading and maintaining QuickBooks on your local network while giving you the flexibility to access your company’s data from any Internet connection. QuickBooks hosting reduces transportation costs as the finance professional and his /her client can work concurrently.

Multi-User Access

With QuickBooks hosting, multiple users are able to access company data on the host servers, allowing them to work in real-time on a single set of data files.

Co-Hosting Option

QuickBooks accounting software can be hosted together with other software, if required, for example, any of the popular tax software. QuickBooks can be co-hosted with various QuickBooks add-ons made by Intuit or third party vendors.

Always Remain Updated

With the convenience of accessing your latest and live QuickBooks data from anywhere and at anytime, you always remain updated about your crucial monetary data.

Convenient and Straightforward

If the accounting professional is handling certain processes for the client, such as payroll or bill paying, using the online system can make this sharing of work much easier and more straightforward.

Use Multiple Versions

Solving the problem of having a variety of QuickBooks installations and client data files on the accounting professional’s system is one of the best reasons to implement a hosted QuickBooks model. The requirement to manage and maintain multiple year versions of software, as well as the client data associated with it, is a big expense that the professional currently, traditionally, bears. This is a redundant resource, as the client is also bearing the cost of housing and maintaining their software and their own data. Using a hosted QuickBooks model centralizes the resource, and eliminates the redundant cost of having multiple year versions of software in two places at once.

High Data Security

QuickBooks host provides strong password protected logins, and high bit encryption and security time-outs to protect your vital data. All data servers are stored in locked cabinets at a physically secured location. It also provides full anti-virus solution and robust firewall protection, so that your business does not suffer at any point of time. QuickBooks host provides fully secured networking operations, so that you do not have to care about data thefts.

Topnotch Technology

Host provides fastest microprocessors and use high speed disks to assure swift networking.

Backup at Multiple Locations

Efficient and technologically advanced hosts provide robust backup at multiple locations.

Full-time Support

Competent application and cloud hosting service provider ensures 24/7 full-time support by security experts without charging any fee.

Make Your Website More Panda Friendly

The recent Google Panda update has raised the bar not only for SEO experts but also for web designers. It’s getting tougher and tougher to rank well and that means that you really have to pay attention to all designing and Google ranking factors. When we do this, search engines rewards us because we are rewarding our audience and providing them with the information and experience they are looking for. The following points will help you to make your website panda proof:-

1.Content is key:The Panda algorithm update emphasizes providing assurance only on websites that contain unique and useful content. This will help users better find content relevant to their search. If you provide web page content that is unique, relevant, high quality and preferably 1000+ words, your site will likely be rewarded with improved rankings and therefore, increased traffic.

2.Above the fold design: Narrowing your header images, removing header banner images and pushing more content onto the top of your site will help with Panda.

3.Web Page indexing: A website with more than 100 web pages and maximum pages indexed by Google would be considered as a Panda friendly website.

4.Page rank: Page rank is still one of the most important factors. PageRank is an independent measure of Google’s perception of the quality/authority/credibility of an individual web page. It does not depend on any particular search phrase. Google conveniently reports this as a number from 0-10 (10 being the best).

5.Check your Domain registration: Domain registration for five years helps to enhance authority points. This is a small tip, but every little bit helps.

6.Webmaster tools: It enables webmasters to get a better idea of what Google “thinks” about their web sites, how the Google “spider” sees them, and what improvements could be made.

7.Social media proof: Google Panda takes social media trends seriously and content that is loved by social media sites like Twitter and Facebook gets better position in search engines.

8.Optimize for Fast Load Times: Avoid flash, single background images in the website. Google tends to favor sites that are snappy, quick, and fast.

Apple Ajukan Paten Fitur Pengenalan Wajah

TEMPO.CO , Jakarta - Baru-baru ini diketahui bahwa sebuah aplikasi paten telah diajukan oleh Apple ke Kantor Hak Paten dan Merek dagang Amerika Serikat.Dikutip dari CNET, Jumat, 30 Desember 2011, paten ini mengenai fitur pengenalan wajah yang memungkinkan pengguna membuka perangkat bergerak yang dikunci hanya dengan menghadapkan wajah pada kamera di perangkat.

Mekanisme pengenalan wajah ini bekerja tidak dengan memindai keseluruhan wajah, tapi hanya pada bagian yang kaya informasi, seperti mata, mulut, dan hidung. Contohnya, sistem ini akan mengukur jarak antara mata dan mulut, lalu dibandingkan dengan data pengguna yang telah disetorkan sebelumnya.

Aplikasi pengenalan wajah ini juga diberi kemampuan untuk dapat mengenali wajah pengguna dalam berbagai kondisi pencahayaan.Dengan teknologi ini pengguna iOS memiliki alternatif untuk membuka kunci perangkat selain dengan cara slide yang saat ini terdapat di berbagai perangkat Apple.

Menurut Apple Insider, blog teknologi yang berhasil mendapatkan salinan pengajuan paten ini, Apple sebenarnya telah mengajukannya sejak Juni 2009. Fitur pengenalan wajah ini sebenarnya bukan hal yang baru karena Samsung saat ini telah menerapkannya pada perangkat Galaxy Nexus.

Para pakar IT mengingatkan bahwa fitur ini sebenarnya memiliki kelemahan besar karena dapat ditembus melalui cara yang mudah, seperti menggunakan foto.Google merespons dengan menyatakan bahwa fitur ini hanya salah satu dari banyak opsi cara membuka kunci ponsel yang dapat dipilih pengguna. Cara ini diakui memang memiliki tingkat keamanan yang lebih rendah dibanding penggunaan PIN atau password.
