E-Connect Data Sheet

Hosted Internet Software Solutions for Professional Services Firms

  • Affordable and powerful functionality accessible through a standard Internet browser

Elite E-Connect delivers the power and flexibility of Elite’s world-class suite of financial and practice management applications in a secure, hosted, browser-based environment. This comprehensive set of solutions enables professional services firms to enjoy cost effective browser access to Elite’s premier financial and practice management applications along with professional management of system support, maintenance and administration activities. By outsourcing the ongoing management of computer hardware and system administration to Elite’s staff of trained professionals, professional services firms are able to focus efforts on their core business activities.

Low Startup Costs for Immediate Productivity
Elite E-Connect helps firms get up and running quickly, without requiring extensive capital outlays or dedicated system maintenance and administration resources. Elite delivers a fast and streamlined implementation approach by preconfiguring client settings on server hardware and software maintained at Elite’s state-of-the-art hosting facility. Users access the system directly from a standard web browser (such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer® or Netscape®). By paying a hosted license fee per user, firms are able to benefit from a reduced initial capital outlay and can easily budget and predict the ongoing costs of maintaining and managing the system.

Effortless System Maintenance and Administration
With E-Connect, clients are able to outsource ongoing system administration and maintenance tasks to experienced Elite personnel. These functions include:

  • Regular system backups that ensure system data is protected in the event of a failure.
  • Routine database, operating system and hardware maintenance, which is performed to guarantee optimal performance.
  • Automatic scheduled system upgrades to ensure users have access to the latest versions of Elite’s applications.

Because these functions are handled in a secure, professional manner by Elite staff, firms can predict and control administrative costs more effectively and increase staff focus on strategic tasks.

Scalable Protected Investment
Created using the latest in web-based technology and designed to handle virtually unlimited growth, Elite E-Connect provides a reliable long-term system investment. If firm growth or other considerations ever dictate the implementation of an internally managed system, no data conversion or retraining is necessary. A simple and smooth transition process allows any Elite E-Connect customer to move system processing in-house without business disruption or loss of productivity. As hundreds of firms worldwide already know, Elite combines the best of both worlds - a cost-effective solution that fits today’s requirements and unlimited scalability to satisfy the needs of a growing business.

Guaranteed Uptime and Streamlined Support Operations
Elite E-Connect offers 99% guaranteed uptime to deliver clients an extremely reliable and stable working environment. In addition, Elite offers a single point of contact for server hardware and software management services. In the event of any type of system problem, Elite provides fast and efficient resolution.

World-Class, Secure Data Hosting Environment
Information security and protection are critical elements provided with an Elite E-Connect solution. Elite uses state-of-the-art data centers that offer the highest levels of software protection, ensuring the integrity and safety of your information. The security offered by a professionally managed data center is often far superior to in-house system management, and knowing that complete, regular backups are performed offers peace of mind in the event of any type of emergency.

Elite E-Connect is a cost-effective, sophisticated and comprehensive software solution that is ideal for medium-sized firms. Elite can implement an E-Connect solution quickly and efficiently without sacrificing scalability to meet future growth requirements. With the powerful capabilities of an Elite system, firms of any size can effectively compete for new clients and deliver superior customer satisfaction.
