Your staff sign in to the same Windows desktop, with the same files and applications, whether they are in the office, at another office, or at home. We set it up, move your data, and run it day to day. 01 ### Off the server in the back room Move files and applications off aging office servers, or bring an existing cloud setup under better management. 02 ### The same desktop everywhere Every office and every remote worker uses one shared environment, so nobody is copying files back and forth. 03 ### Managed, not just hosted Updates, user accounts, backups, security, and support are handled by the same team that supports your office. WHAT WE HANDLE. ## IT for the way accounting firms work Client financial data, deadlines that do not move, and staff who need their software to open every time. We look after the whole picture. ### Tax and accounting software Your tax preparation and accounting applications set up in the managed cloud desktop or on office computers, with updates handled. ### Tax-season readiness Before the busy season we check updates, sign-ins, capacity, and backups so problems surface early, not on a deadline. ### Microsoft 365 Email, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint set up and managed, including shared mailboxes and user changes. ### IT security Multi-factor sign-in, email protection, and device security, with plain answers about what is in place. ### Backups Backups for the cloud desktop, Microsoft 365, and office systems, checked so you can get files back when you need them. ### Networks and computers Office networks, Wi-Fi, and staff computers chosen, set up, and supported, in every office. AN EXAMPLE. ## A multi-office CPA firm in southern Idaho The firm wanted staff in each office, and staff working from home, to use the same files and software without relying on servers in a back room. We moved the firm to a managed cloud desktop on Azure Virtual Desktop, and we now support it day to day along with Microsoft 365, security, and the computers in each office. - **One environment for every office**Staff sign in to the same desktop wherever they work. - **One team to call**The cloud desktop, Microsoft 365, and office computers are supported together. - **Room to grow**Adding a person or an office means adding a user, not a server. EVERY KIND OF OFFICE. ### Not just accounting firms. Accounting firms are one of the industries we know well, and we support local offices of every kind with the same managed IT, Microsoft 365, networks, and security.
