Sharing accounting information through a network

Question
How can I share accounting information among my three business locations? 
Answer
The key is to determine what kind of information you want to share remotely and how real-time you want that information to be.

The old way is for all of your locations to be hardwired in real time to a central server. This may be too expensive and cumbersome for you.

A quicker and less expensive way is to store your files on a Web server which presents the information on Web browser pages. The kind of system you need, however, depends on how your information is shared.
