Talk to an ExpertBusiness Software Tied to One Machine Slows Your Team Down
When Sage, QuickBooks, or another business app lives on a single local machine, access is limited and risk is wide. These are the gaps a hosted environment closes.
Locked to One Desk
When the company file sits on one office computer, whoever needs it has to be at that desk to get any work done.
Multi-User Friction
Sharing a company file over a local network is fragile, and it slows to a crawl at month-end and through tax season.
Financial Data Exposure
Client and financial data on local drives and personal laptops turns a lost device into a lost dataset.
Update and Backup Gaps
Software updates and backups depend on someone in the office remembering to run them, on schedule, every time.
A Managed Home for Your Business Software
Summit runs the hosting layer so your team and your accountant log in to the same software and the same files from any device.
Sage Hosting
Run Sage 50, Sage 100, Sage 300, and more, along with your add-ons, in Summit’s hosted environment. Your whole team works from the same data, from anywhere, with no local install to maintain.
QuickBooks Hosting
Host QuickBooks Desktop, Premier, and Enterprise with your add-ons, so your team and accountant share one live company file, with no emailing copies or syncing back and forth.
Virtual Desktops (DaaS)
Give each user a full hosted Windows desktop with their apps, files, and settings, streamed to any device they pick up.
Secure Multi-User Access
Several users work in the same company file at once, with multi-factor authentication and encrypted sessions keeping data off the endpoint.
Backup and Recovery
Validated backups and disaster recovery protect every company file, with restore points you can rely on.
