QuickBooks Hosting: An Overview
QuickBooks is essentially a desktop program, designed to be installed on your local computer.

A Documentation Management System (DMS) is a program that is used to store electronic documents and/or images of paper documents.

I highly recommend that you consider SmartVault for QuickBooks desktop document management.
Exporting QuickBooks Transactions with Transaction Pro Exporter
