Plan the best location for your company file

To help decide which workstation will be used to store your company file, answer some questions about how your company plans to use AccountEdge:

• Which workstation on your network is the most powerful? Like most computer programs, AccountEdge can be used most efficiently on workstations that have the most free hard disk space and random access memory (RAM). You may want to consider placing the upgraded company file on your company's most powerful computer.

• Which workstation will use AccountEdge the most? If one employee at your company will use AccountEdge more than anyone else, consider placing the upgraded company file on that employee's workstation. This will help speed that employee's accounting tasks.

• What are the job functions of each person who will use AccountEdge? For example, a clerk who enters and changes information in AccountEdge throughout the day will require more computer "horsepower" than a manager who views the company's financial data only occasionally. Placing the company file on the clerk's workstation and ensuring that workstation is more powerful than the manager's will increase the efficiency of your company's AccountEdge activities.
