We work with several customers and partners that put QuickBooks in the cloud, but the offerings that exist are either too slow, or too restrictive. MyCloudIT gives you the ability to move some, or all your infrastructure to the cloud, including QuickBooks. Since we build a complete Remote Desktop Service in Azure, you can install the same version of QuickBooks you install on-premises, in the infrastructure we create for you.
Why would customers move QuickBooks to the cloud?
There are several reasons customers want to move QuickBooks to the cloud. They range from needing access from multiple locations, to keeping the data out of the hands of local employees, to taking advantage of the backup and Disaster Recovery Capabilities Azure offers. The other great thing about Azure is that you only pay for the resources you use, when you use them. This means that if you do not need access to QuickBooks, or your cloud infrastructure after hours, you can turn off your cloud infrastructure and realize a significant cost savings. In Azure, you only pay for your Azure runtime costs when your infrastructure is running. Of course, MyCloudIT offers the automation to turn your infrastructure on and off at scheduled times you define, this makes is very easy to save unnecessary costs.
How do I move QuickBooks to the cloud?
The most important part of QuickBooks is the QuickBooks database. We are not QuickBooks experts, but if you are moving your on-premises QuickBooks to the cloud, you first need to build the RDS infrastructure to host QuickBooks and any other applications you will need.
Hopefully this answers some questions on why and how to move QuickBooks to the cloud. If you have any specific questions, feel free to email sales@mycloudit.com.
