QuickBooks Enterprise 7.0 2007 Supports Businesses with Multiple Locations

This guide explains how QuickBooks Enterprise 7.0 2007 is optimized for Businesses that operate from more than one location, but need remote access to QuickBooks running on a single company server.  This optimized functionality sets QuickBooks Enterprise 7.0 2007 apart from QuickBooks Pro and QuickBooks Premier, and uniquely positions Enterprise in the market place for larger, growing businesses.  QuickBooks Enterprise 7.0 2007 is available in my store, BuyAccountingSoftwareNow.

Companies with multiple locations can unify remote locations and workers for real-time access to all data using QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 7.0 2007. Enterprise Solutions offers the ability to connect multiple business locations and remote workers through the third-party Windows Terminal Services2 software. This enables a company to run multiple independent sessions from a single server, with the appropriate number of paid Enterprise Solutions licenses. For example, a company could have five users running QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 7.0 2007 remotely via Terminal Services and another five users running QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 7.0 2007 over the LAN (local area network) at headquarters from a single server.

QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 7.0 can be installed on a terminal server so that licensed users can access the software and company file from multiple remote locations. The company must purchase a software license for each user, local or remote, whether or not QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 7.0 2007 is also installed on the remote location machines.

Microsoft Windows Terminal Services is software included in Windows 2000 Server, Server 2003, and XP Pro operating systems that allows users in separate locations to access software and company files that are installed at a centralized server at company headquarters. Windows Terminal Services is a solution for companies with multiple locations who want to enable users in remote, secondary, or home offices to access QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 7.0 2007 throughout the day over lower bandwidth connections. Terminal Services uses a communication protocol that is optimized for moving graphical information quickly and efficiently across the network, so users can get top performance running QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 7.0 2007 over lower bandwidth connections from hundreds of miles away.

When QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 7.0 2007 is used in conjunction with terminal server software, it only has to be installed on the server. Other terminals (PCs) access QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 7.0 2007 without having the program installed directly on their hard drives, although paid licenses for QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 7.0 2007 must be maintained for each user who accesses the software via Terminal Services. Windows Terminal Services allows multiple independent sessions to be run from a single server (although the fifteen simultaneous user limit still applies). The advantage of this method is that all processing is done on the server, which dramatically reduces network traffic.

QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 7.0 2007 technical support engineers can provide limited Terminal Services support related to the Enterprise Solutions product. Windows Terminal Services is software included in Windows 2000 Server, Server 2003, and XP Pro operating systems.
