Cloud9 (News - Alert) Real Time and The Sleeter Group have announced a partnership aimed at providing accounting professionals a shared medium for resources. By combining their expertise in the market, both companies are seeking to better educate accounting professionals, while also offering a virtual office solution.


An Intuit licensed Commercial Host; Cloud9 Real Time is also an accredited Managed Service Provider by MSP Alliance (News - Alert). The Sleeter Group is a consulting network and provider of technical materials, software expertise and QuickBooks training focused specifically on accounting solutions for consultants.

Cloud9 Real Time’s differentiation in the market is its offering of an all in one virtual office solution, rather than competing with host companies that have select products and/or services in their catalog. The company’s proprietary software, the e-Dashboard, is considered the nucleus of the virtual office and allows users to gain anytime, anywhere access to documents, applications, files and folders.

In this virtual office, multi-user environment, users can easily work in their applications and files at the same time as clients or co-workers, while also utilizing the full desktop version of applications. These virtual office users are no longer limited by online offerings and can enjoy a broad array of capabilities. With a robust virtual server solution, businesses also have the option of outsourcing their server needs to the cloud to provide an all-in-one solution that is designed specifically to access the Office and Exchange services.

Robert Chandler, CEO and President of Cloud9 Real Time, shared in a statement, "We are very excited to be working with Doug Sleeter and The Sleeter Group. They have key understandings to what accountants need and we look forward to growing the relationship to offer a more inclusive service model to Cloud9 clients."

As companies are increasingly turning to the virtual office model to support remote employees and rising travel costs, partnerships like that of The Sleeter Group and Cloud9 Real Time are both timely and efficient options.

The Sleeter Solution Partner Network is made up of companies that have been vetted and are incorporated into the ecosystem of solutions made available to Sleeter Group members and clients. Cloud9 Real Time offers virtual office solutions, hosting all of their servers in the U.S. at a SAS (News - Alert)-70 Type II data center. Technical support and storage space are provided free of charge.

If you’re looking for a virtual office company that provides the services needed to run efficiently, than Phone.com (News - Alert) is the company you should take a look at. You can checkout all their products and features here.
