What is Tally on Cloud?
Tally on Cloud refers to hosting the Tally ERP
(Enterprise Resource Planning) accounting software on a cloud platform rather
than installing it on a local desktop or on-premises server. It allows users to
access Tally from anywhere, anytime, through an internet connection and a
remote desktop client (e.g., RDP, web browser, or mobile app).
Tally on Cloud is particularly useful for businesses with
multiple branches, remote teams, or those looking to improve data security and
scalability without investing in physical IT infrastructure.
๐๏ธ How Tally on Cloud
Works
Instead of installing Tally on your personal system:
Tally
is installed on a virtual server hosted on the cloud (e.g., AWS,
Azure, Google Cloud, or a private cloud).
You
connect to this server via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or a
browser-based client.
All
data is stored securely on the cloud server and is accessible by
authorized users only.
