Say goodbye to your IT headaches! Our cloud computing options offer you a scalable, reliable,
and secure web-hosted environment that ensures business continuance in any circumstance—from
weather emergencies to natural disasters. And with the ability to let your employees work from anywhere, you can make the best use of your staff and resources.

our interactive Web Services timeline) and currently offer
two popular web-hosted cloud computing options:
The Ultimate in Data Security

- Software as a Service (SaaS)
The Affordable Tax, Accounting, and Practice Management Software Solution
This total software
leasing solution makes it possible for any firm to take advantage of the entire award-winning
CS Professional Suite—without a large up-front investment.
And as your firm's software requirements change during the year, you can change your profile to reflect
your situation. It's a convenient and cost-effective way to handle your software needs.
- Virtual Office CS
24/7 Software & Data Access
Virtual Office CS offers anytime, anywhere remote access to your
software, relieving you of the IT burden and ensuring business continuance. The full line of
CS Professional Suite tax and accounting software and select
Microsoft® products are available in the Virtual Office CS environment. Your programs
operate and integrate just as if the programs were loaded on your hard drive; however, the software
is loaded on our secure servers, so we take care of maintenance and updates—all you have to do
is log on, go to work, and enjoy peace of mind.
