Many
accountant offices use MYOB software to
handle bookkeeping and reporting for
their clients. The most important issues
that accounting firms require are:
Multiple simultaneousaccess to MYOB
data, remote access to MYOB data through
terminal service.
Multiple simultaneous access to MYOB
data
Setting up a MYOB
Server to allow multiple, simultaneous
access to MYOB data over local area
network are a challenging task for MYOB
users. Standard MYOB software such as
MYOB Accounting Plus allows only one
client access to MYOB data at a time,
however this is normally not efficient
for accounting firms who require
multiple client access to a same MYOB
data file, or who want to remotely
access MYOB data. MYOB has different
versions which allow different levels of
client access.
Safemode is
experienced in setting up and installing
a dedicated computer acting as a file
server to allow simultaneous client
access to MYOB data.
Remote client access to MYOB data
through Terminal Service
If
you run an accounting firm and have
contracted accountants or bookkeepers,
you may require a dedicated MYOB Server
that allows multiple simultaneous access
to MYOB data over local network AND from
remote office or home. There are many
different versions of MYOB software and
different way of setting up remote
client access to MYOB data.
There is big
difference in price between a solution
for only one remote client access and a
solution for multiple remote client
access to MYOB data. While the first
requires MYOB AccountRight Plus or
Premier on a non-server computer
(Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7), the latter
requires MYOB AccountRight Enterprise on a
Windows Server computer and Terminal
Server, plus the cost for Terminal
Service Client Access License (or Remote
Desktop Service Client Access License).
Understanding the difference between
MYOB software versions and system
requirements is the key to building an
efficient system for your accountants
and bookkeepers. DIY or lack of
expertise and experience may result in
spending big money for a wrong solution.

itself is not enough to build Terminal
Server for MYOB remote access.
