Denise, you can see my other articles on QuickBooks 2011 (Enterprise 11), both in this blog and in the one that I’ve moved over to and that has all my new articles, at http://www.sleeter.com/blog/

Enterprise 11 (and Premier 2011) are as solid as any QuickBooks product is. The issues I raise in THIS article have been resolved.

Not sure what you are referring to as the “EDI portion of the software”?

I can’t say if you need Enterprise instead of Premier, I would need to know a lot more about your business. It is a big step, most people only need that if you need more users or a larger capacity for number of customers, etc.

You can access your accounting from home by many different ways – that isn’t a Premier vs Enterprise issue. Simplest is to use a product like LogMeIn. Enterprise does allow you to use Microsoft RDS, but that is expensive to set up in the office. Or you can move to a hosting company and have it all online.

I have 2 small companies that we are considering converting to Enterprise 11 have you tried the newest version of Enterpise to see if it has corrected the problems that occurred in 10. Also I like the EDI portion of the software, but have not heard much about it. The maximum users that we would need for this would be 3 users.
Unfortunately they only sell the 5 user. I was just wondering if we are too small to move to the more complicated version. We use QB 11 presently. I would like to access my accounting from home. I would also like the idea of having the sales and shipping information incorporated together also. Any opinions?

Since I have loaded QB Enterprise 9.0, I cannot print my payroll checks in class order like I use to with previous versions. Can anyone help me with this. The help line has been no help at all.

Pretty bad experience with Enterprise 10.00 We have lot of problems with the software. I will not recommend the upgrade to any one. We use quickbooks since 2000. Upgrading from 8.0 to 10.00 was a huge mistake. The software keeps crashing every day. Code error 27454 10467. We have talk to Quickbools over 15 times. All they tell us that we need to wait until the patch is released. They did not told me that before I spent $5,000 dlls in the upgrade.

I do not recommend 10.00

Thank you Charlie.
I appreciate your advice and I will hightail it over to the Intuit Community Forum. It was QuickBooks help who suggested I upgrade to Enterprise and I thought it a bit much for what I am trying to accomplish.

Hi, Terri – this is a bit off topic, and you are better off posting a question like this in the Intuit Community Forum. There you can get a lot of people looking at your question.

If a remote access program like GoToMyPC doesn’t work, you can either:
-change the office over to use a “hosting” service (one that is officially supported by Intuit), where EVERYONE is using an online version;
-Switch to QuickBooks Online Edition, if that will do what you need (it is different than QB desktop).
-Put a totally separate computer in that office just for you and then use GoToMyPC (or something similar).
-Move up to Enterprise and invest in a lot of hardware at the office, so that you have a server system that supports Windows Terminal Services, which will let you access from a remote site (Enterprise supports that but Premier doesn’t). Very expensive upgrade.

Hi,
I am brand new to QuickBooks and I am struggling to find the best way to meet my needs. I work for a small internet based retail/wholesale business (inventory is small sales are decent). I am currently using QuickBooks Pro 2010 and have been directed to Enterprise. I want to access QuickBooks from home and do my bookkeeping simultaneously with the sales staff. The staff in the office generally works from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. GotoMyPC does not really work in this scenario. If I enter the office I never seem to be able to actually do my job Any thoughts?

Shellie, Pro is going to have a limit of 14,500 customers/vendors/names so you can’t use it to manage 25,000 customers. That is a lot! You need to go to Enterprise to handle those kinds of numbers.

Rita, hard to say. There are ways of shrinking your database (see Karl Irvin’s tools at http://www.q2q.us for example). The decision on moving to Enterprise isn’t based just on the size of your file. Hard to evaluate in comments in a blog like this…
