Moving from desktop Premier to hosted. Cost and performance?

We are contemplating moving to hosted so that integration to web site can be made easier.

Am I understanding correctly the cost per year per user is $940.00? So we will go from last years cost of $1,340.00 for 5 users, to $4,700.00.

What is the hosted speed like. I previously avoided it because it was reported to be too slow but has it improved? Our current file size is 850MB with 11K names and 7.7K items.

In my experience , i found if the total file size is above 1.2GB for RAH , things get sluggish. Cosmic has done few rollovers with company with their file size reaching as stated. They are too happy to do this rollover setting another "New data file "

A another user has Desktop with over $120M TURN OVER I will not advice them to move to RAH, their file size is over 1.3GB . They dont seems to be have any issues on Desktop. And the company is rapidly growing .

Hi @Ian_8365621

Do you perform regular maintenance on your data file? What is your internet connection speed like?

Hosted is the highest edition of the Reckon Accounts range and operates on a terminal server environment. When it comes to some features it does things a little differently when compared to what you may be used to in the desktop editon such as email, uploading/downloading etc which you'll need to aware of.

My recommendation would be for you to take out a trial for Reckon Accounts Hosted then upload a copy of your existing QBW file to it so you can give it a test drive.

If you have questions around any of this, let us know.

Cheers

Thsts not a large file for hosted. I'd still create a portable backup and restore it so as to trim the file.

I've literally just gone down this path with a client upgrading from 2010-11 and the performance is significantly better

The downside is Hosted is ridiculously expensive compared to the online alternatives. None of them charge a per seat licence fee. And $950.00 per seat is absurd. And I like Hosted. I use it every day.
