QuickBooks Canadian - Economic globalization has dictated expansion and Right Networks, the world's leading QuickBooks Hosting Provider, has responded. Right Networks is proud to announce that we have become an Intuit Canada Authorized Commercial Hosting Provider and now offer Intuit's Canadian QuickBooks. This means Right Networks clients get easy, affordable access to 2012 Pro, Premier, and Enterprise versions of Canadian QuickBooks with the speed and reliability of the Right Networks hosting platform.

Why QuickBooks Canada? Right Networks knows the differences between each country's tax systems can cause accounting nightmares. And, up until now, QuickBooks Canada was not available as a fully clustered hosted solution. With the deployment of QuickBooks Canada, Right Networks clients now have access to the full array of Right Networks hosting features, with the addition of Canadian-specific tax information such as:

• GST (Goods and Service Tax)
• HST (Harmonized Sales Tax)
• PST (Provincial Sales Tax)
• Required tax tables

Right Networks is proud to announce a partnership with PhoneFactor, the leading provider of phone-based authentication. Adding to the industry leading security and reliability that Right Networks users enjoy every day, you now have the option to include an additional layer of enhanced authentication to your portal.

How it works - Users log in just as they normally would by entering a username and password. As soon as the first log in is successful, the users phone will ring. When the user answers the phone and presses the “#” symbol, that user will be granted access to their portal. In addition to this, if an attacker attempts to log in, the user can block access by answering the phone and pressing 911#. This action will immediately alert Right Networks of the unauthorized access attempt so appropriate countermeasures can be taken.
