About Client Track
Several years ago Trilobyte Solutions Inc. was

Drawing on years of experience, our team took a long look at the
problems accounting professionals face in their daily operations and
analyzed what processes they were spending much of their unbillable
time on.
From their research, our team developed Client Track. Client Track
was such a success that we have since made Client Track our flagship
product and we are constantly continuing the development of Client
Track based on the feedback of our many users to help accountants
and bookkeepers organize and take control of their daily tasks so

About Abacus Online Backups
ABACUS Online Backups is a wholly owned subsidiary of STAAL &
ASSOCIATES, INC. of Montreal, Quebec. They have been in the data
management business since 1992. The company has a valid “RELIABILITY
STATUS Designated Organization Screening” with the Canadian Federal
Government, which means that their security meets the rigorous
standards of the federal government.
Businesses that are operating without a data backup plan are walking
a risky line. Statistically, they will lose valuable data at some
point - the question is how valuable the data will be at the time of
loss and how expensive and difficult it will be to recover or
replace.
In-house manual data backup leaves data open to vulnerabilities -
manual processes are loaded with opportunities for humans to forget,
misplace, or simply botch the backup. Human error, theft of hardware
or backup media, disgruntled employees, forgetful employees,
viruses/Trojans, and hardware systems failures can cause
irrecoverable loss. Online backup neutralizes all of these threats.
Abacus Online Backups provides remote backup services that are
reliable, require no human intervention and are reasonably priced.
Companies get complete reports every day on the status of their
backup program.
