QuickBooks & Sage Cloud Hosting for Retail
Cloud Hosting Solutions for Retail Businesses
Cloud hosting has transformed the retail industry. More companies are leveraging the cloud products now than ever before because the cloud enables remote business management and lowers IT costs while improving the visibility of your product inventory, customer data, finances and more.
Interested in moving your retail business applications and data to the cloud? Summit Hosting is one of the most trusted hosting providers in North America, and we’re always ready to help you select the best cloud solution for your retail business from dedicated cloud server hosting to a secure virtual workspace.
Benefits of QuickBooks Hosting or Sage Hosting for Retail
What can cloud computing do for a retail business? Cloud technology benefits retail businesses in countless ways from improved inventory management and enhanced supply chain visibility to higher data security and better disaster recovery.
There are plenty of other reasons why you should begin your digital transformation by moving to QuickBooks cloud hosting or cloud-hosted Sage. When you use the cloud, you can enjoy enhanced insights and real-time snapshots thanks to secure, anywhere access to your software. Additionally, retailers enjoy the flexibility, customization, and business scalability the cloud offers, especially in a dedicated setting: unlike in a shared server setting, dedicated hosting lets you customize your server with the tools, applications, and resources you need as your business grows.
With the selection of a hosting provider, you’ll also reduce IT-related expenses and time spent dealing with IT headaches since cloud providers take over these responsibilities for you.
Cloud Hosting Security for Retail
Believe it or not, the cloud is a much more secure method for storing and protecting data than on-premise hosting. Critical information and files accessed using a cloud-hosted server are better protected from intrusions by unauthorized persons, cybercrime attempts, general human error and natural disasters. How is this possible? Most cloud service providers offer 24/7 data intrusion monitoring, around-the-clock data security and enterprise-level encryption technology, among others.
At Summit Hosting, we take additional security measures for our clients. Our dedicated server hosting solutions for retail are dedicated to only your business – this means you won’t have to worry about your data being compromised due to a misstep on behalf of another company sharing your server.
