Apps4Rent Can Help with QuickBooks Cloud Services

While integrating ExpenseWire with QuickBooks Desktop saves time and improves accuracy, the synchronization occurs only when the web connector is running. This could be challenging for businesses with distributed teams, as the system on which QuickBooks Desktop and the web connector are installed will have to be kept running almost perpetually, or at least during business hours. In other words, users will need to have access to the physical machine.

This challenge can be solved by installing these applications on virtual machines that can be accessed from anywhere, at any time, using any device.
