Perhaps the most frequent concern companies express when considering web-based accounting, involves having their data reside "off site."
It's easy to assume your data is safest only when you can touch and feel it. What companies discover however, is that their sense of security is based more on perception than on reality. Data is similar to other valuables and it makes sense to let experts provide security. That's what they get paid to do: provide iron-clad protection fro viruses, intruders, and equipment failures. Protecting your data IS a serious business, and it should be evaluated logically rather than emotionally.
