Looking for advanced suggestions!

by pc girl . Updated 22 years, 8 months ago

So here is the situation… My client is the corporate head quarters for a quickly growing, large volume restaurant chain that currently consist of three large restaurants, four locations in all (three restaurants plus corporate headquarters). Each of the 3 restaurants are located in different states. Currently, each location has their own accountant who uses QuickBooks on a daily basis to record local accounting/sales/profit ect… I deal directly with corporate headquarters. The finance person has requested the following network setup…. Each restaurant location is to retain their current accountant who is responsible for daily finances at that location. QuickBooks database’s for all restaurants need to be accessible (and manageable) to the corporate finance guy at corporate head quarters, 24/7. Having evaluating the current IT level at each location I would like to be able to have control of backing up all these databases so not to depend on someone I’ve never met in another state. Head quarters agrees with me. My first thought was a Naz Server that would be located at the corporate office under my, somewhat, supervision. I am not a full time on-site employee. I am an independent consultant, always on call and have over 50 clients in my local area. I’ve heard enough to think this might be the perfect solution. Anyone with thoughts on this or any other options that would satisfy these needs, I’d appreciate your input. I will follow through with what the outcome is and more than happy to give points to anyone whose input guides or helps the outcome. THANK YOU!
