What Is Lacerte Cloud Hosting?
Lacerte cloud hosting places the Lacerte desktop application, tax data, and supporting Windows resources in a managed cloud environment instead of relying on an office server or individual workstation. Authorized team members can securely access the same configured environment from approved locations.
InnerPC builds the environment on Microsoft Azure and manages infrastructure, migration, security, backups, application access, Microsoft 365, and user support. Your firm keeps its Lacerte licensing relationship with Intuit while InnerPC manages the technology environment around it.
Lacerte Cloud Hosting and Your Accounting Applications in One Cloud
InnerPC can host Lacerte alongside QuickBooks Desktop, document-management tools, Microsoft 365, practice-management software, and other tax and accounting applications, subject to each vendor’s licensing and technical requirements. Before migration, we confirm versions, integrations, printers, scanners, storage, user access, and performance needs. Review official Lacerte features from Intuit, then explore InnerPC’s cloud hosting for accounting firms, cybersecurity, and data migration services.
