 San Francisco, 26 October 2009: GoPC.net
the world's leading independent provider
of Cloud Computing and TurboCASH
Accounting, the world's leading Open
Source Accounting package for small business have jumped in ahead of
industry giants and announced the first entry level Accounting SaaS
solution for Cloud computing.
Graeme
Speak, CEO/Founder of GoPC.net
made the announcement, “The roll out with TurboCASH
is a truly exciting development. GoPC.net has been pioneering next
generation "cloud computing" innovation for over a decade.
We've created a disruptive technology that virtualizes the full
functionality of a managed PC/Server network in the cloud, removing
any dependence on physical hardware and saving up to 90% of IT costs.
The integration of TurboCASH
with our full suite of desktop applications creates a secure, ultra
low cost and low maintenance IT solution suitable for most small to
medium size businesses."

Speak said, “Cloud computing does not just
mean 'web applications'. TurboCASH's
integration with GoPC.net delivers the full desktop product
integrated with other desktop applications such as OpenOffice,
centralized file storage, backups and security, all delivered via the
Internet to almost any connected screen. The GoPC.net
supercomputing grid platform is extremely mature, operating live
since 2005. It drastically reduces I.T. spend by eliminating
license costs and the need to install or maintain anything on
local PC's and Servers.

Philip
Copeman, project leader of TurboCASH
Accounting said, “When we first approached GoPC.net I was not sure
if "cloud computing" was simply science fiction. I have
never been comfortable with the browser based systems, using AJAX and
PHP Scripts. TurboCASH
has been looking for an alternative that can offer a rich client
interfaces that guides users through complex systems. The results
with GoPC.net have been astounding. We have cloud enabled the full
desktop version of our product without having to rewrite the whole
product into a basic web app." |

"Our users come from over 80 different
tax regimes and use over 25 different languages. We have now tested
the system in high bandwidth and low bandwidth countries, all report
surprising high performance. The TurboCASH Accounting system is
unique in that a single release can be configured to handle all
markets and all platforms, Windows, XP, Windows Vista, Linux and
Apple. Our ability to deploy rapidly is the silver bullet that lets
us compete against accounting software companies with thousands of
employees. The GoPC.net cloud platform extends this further by making
it available to any business, anywhere, independent of their existing
PC/Server network. This gives the smallest accountant the ability to
compete across International boundaries.”
Michael Dexter,
Program Director of Linux
Fund has watched these developments for some time. "When I
first encountered TurboCASH
it was almost exclusively a Windows program but had great potential
on other platforms thanks to its open source licensing. The WINE
Windows compatibility environment then brought TurboCASH
to both the Linux and Macintosh platforms, but the addition of NX in
Linux has virtualized this open source project making a true
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering. Because the underlying code
will remain free and open, this is exactly the kind of win-win
commercial opportunities that the open source model can create.
