Commercial Providers

Everything you always wanted to know about the Authorized QuickBooks hosting providers

In my previous article entitled “Everything you always wanted to know about the QuickBooks hosting program but were afraid to ask” , I mentioned that I would be providing information on what makes these providers different.  I still intend to do that, but I must proceed delicately.  You see, I was employed by one of the Commercial QuickBooks hosting providers, InsynQ, and while I make every attempt to be fair and unbiased, the other providers may not necessarily see my motivations as being all that altruistic.  Rather, there is a great potential for them to perceive that my blog posts about QuickBooks hosting providers is simply a way to put InsynQ above the rest.   So, I will proceed with my reviews of the various hosting service providers, and will attempt to be as unbiased as possible.  In fact, the “blurb” about each provider listed below comes, in most cases, directly from the provider, and is being posted with their approval.  Unfortunately, much of it is “marketing speak”, so I must necessarily expand on that content.

Naturally, I believe very strongly in the QuickBooks hosting model that InsynQ and other providers offer, but I’m also fair enough to recognize that one size never fits all.  So, here we go… proceeding with caution.

Note:  In these descriptions, I’m not going to focus a lot on the underlying technologies used to deliver the hosting service.  While the platform does make a huge difference in terms of what the provider can do, what the customer experience is like, etc…. it is difficult to try to compare each approach based solely on technology.   It’s what they elect to do with the technology that really matters, and that drives the services being offered.  Just recognize that QuickBooks is QuickBooks, and each provider has the ability to deliver QuickBooks very well.
