Cloud payroll software is a trend in business accounting tools. But if your company is switching providers, you’ll want to consider how Internet-based payroll could affect your business. While cloud payroll can work for some, it can be detrimental to others. The high cost, subscription model, and lack of data ownership can cause trouble for some companies.
Advanced Micro Solutions offers an alternative to overpriced cloud-based payroll tools. Our modular software system is disc-based and designed with small business needs in mind. If you have an accounting need, we have a solution.
Why Choose a Disc-Based Software?
Cloud payroll software is popular for a reason. For many, convenience is the primary benefit. Users can log into their payroll dashboard from any device – as long as they have appropriate log-in credentials. This can be a good option for companies with payroll workers in different locations who have consistent Internet access.
That said, cloud payroll software isn’t always the best choice. In fact, for many businesses, disc-based tools are the better option. Cloud-based payroll requires a monthly subscription to maintain access to services and data. If a business fails to pay their monthly fee, they can lose access to critical information. For businesses with tight budgets, this can be devastating.
By contrast, disc-based platforms are more affordable than cloud-based tools. Users often pay a small annual fee for updated materials. Disc-based options also don’t require an Internet connection, which is important for businesses in rural communities and areas without consistent Internet.
Disc-based platforms are secure and customizable, allowing users to pick which services they want. With these tools, your data lives on your device – not in a cloud server thousands of miles away. This added level of security and ownership can provide much-needed peace of mind.
