โœ… 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.


๐Ÿ—๏ธ How Tally on Cloud Works

Instead of installing Tally on your personal system:

  1. Tally is installed on a virtual server hosted on the cloud (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or a private cloud).
  2. You connect to this server via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or a browser-based client.
  3. All data is stored securely on the cloud server and is accessible by authorized users only.
