New cloud hosting capabilities in partnership
with Right Networks allows tax professionals to take desktop
software on-the-go
Today, Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) announced new cloud hosting
capabilities for Lacerte and ProSeries with Hosting for Intuit
ProSeries and Hosting for Intuit Lacerte. Backed by
Intuit and powered by Right Networks, cloud hosting for Lacerte and
ProSeries gives tax professionals the ability to access their work
anytime, anywhere through a server-free, maintenance-reduced model
with built-in data protections.
“In today’s landscape, availability to the tools needed to
deliver on client needs is paramount to the productivity of the
firm and its employees,” said Jorge Olavarrieta, VP of Product
Management at Intuit’s ProConnect Group. “As more accounting and
tax professionals look to cloud-based technology, cloud hosting for
Lacerte and ProSeries allows our customers to keep the desktop
software they know and love, with the added benefit of on-the-go
access.”
Increased flexibility and
usability
With this new offering, tax professionals now have the
flexibility to access Lacerte and ProSeries with virtually any
device at any time. Multi-user access allows firms of all sizes to
simplify staff collaboration across multiple sites in addition to
giving employees the option to work remotely without missing a
beat.
Cloud hosting also means tax pros can have more flexible storage
options for tax data in their current ProSeries and Lacerte
workflow with no additional installations, no servers, no backups
and no maintenance needed. Automatic backups and software updates
mean data will be protected and restored, and tax pros have access
to the latest product available. This can reduce the burden of
needing to handle these updates with valuable firm resources. To
ease the transition from desktop to hosted, U.S. based experts for
Lacerte and ProSeries are available to help with personalized
training and customer support.
Security
With security as a top priority for firms and their clients,
Hosting for ProSeries and Lacerte has gone through rigorous testing
to help ensure the product has more safe guards than the current
on-premise desktop solutions. Data is protected with enterprise
firewalls, antivirus protection, encryption and off-site data
storage to prevent data loss. Data is automatically backed up
nightly and stored for 90 days, helping tax pros keep their
clients’ data more secure and accessible.
“By partnering with Intuit ProConnect to integrate our cloud
hosting platform with Lacerte and ProSeries, we have expanded the
reach of the cloud’s flexibility, security and connected
collaboration to tax professionals and firms handling returns of
all sizes and complexities,” said Joel Hughes, CEO of Right
Networks. “The increased productivity delivered by our HyperRight
platform helps firms scale more quickly and efficiently.”
Right Networks' cloud hosting platform installation is handled
by Intuit’s engineering team and the no-contract monthly pricing
for both ProSeries and Lacerte is flexible for seasonal workers.
