Bluewave now provides an alternative to running MYOB on your local computer network – Access MYOB in the Cloud!
The MYOB Cloud Server is a service that enables you to access your MYOB software on a fully maintained Microsoft Windows Server located in a secure data centre for a fixed monthly fee.

Internet redundancy
There are options to ensure internet redundancy - we do suggest to those who have concerns about their internet to have a USB wireless internet modem on standby in the office (these are now available as a pre-paid option so no ongoing cost). This way in the event of an Internet service outage they are able to plug the USB wireless modem into a PC and this will enable access to the V-Server from the office while their ADSL is restored by their ISP.
Internet services are improving - although the incidence of internet outages is now rare with business grade services (eg. Telstra Business Broadband) we believe as the rollout of the NBN gathers pace these infrequent incidences will decrease significantly over the coming years. Of course the rollout of this next generation Internet infrastructure will also mean much faster Internet speed (10-20 times faster than ADSL2+).
