This refers to the ability to gain entry and operate Drake Tax, a professional tax preparation software suite, from a location physically separate from the computer on which it is installed. This facilitates work from home arrangements, allows multiple users to access the same software installation, and can enable support personnel to troubleshoot issues remotely.
The significance lies in increased flexibility, improved collaboration, and enhanced support capabilities. Historically, tax professionals were tethered to a single workstation. The implementation of this functionality eliminates geographical constraints, allowing for business continuity in unforeseen circumstances and optimizing resource allocation across multiple locations. This enhances responsiveness to client needs and reduces downtime caused by technical difficulties.
