B. Key Benefits of TallyPrime Server

• Business Process Optimisation: With the TallyPrime Server, you can easily optimise your business processes as it allows authorised users (admin) to track, manage and monitor user activities and sessions. This provides you with details about who is logged in and what activities are in progress, thereby helping you better manage the system usage. It also offers you the option of disconnecting users if required.
• High Concurrency: One of the primary benefits of TallyPrime Server is that it allows multiple users to access the Tally system simultaneously. Users can effortlessly import data, export/print reports, save transactions, perform data-related activities together without any lag. This will help boost work productivity, ensuring that tasks get completed faster. Most importantly, even if multiple users work on the same data simultaneously, you can expect consistent, accuracy and real-time data at all times.
• Minimum Downtime: System downtime can happen during the time of backup. However, with the TallyPrime Server, the downtime experienced by users is almost zero as the backup is taken at the server level. This ensures that your PC is not affected and the workflow is not impacted.
• Higher Data Security: The powerful TallyPrime Server not only offers better access to data files, but also offers higher data security. With Tally Server, the admin can hide the data path from users, ensuring higher data integrity. For any user to access and operate TallyPrime Server, only the name of the data server is sufficient. This ensures that no alteration/changes can be made by any user without authorisation.
• Better Monitor And Control: TallyPrime Server offers the admin full control to check and comprehensively monitor various activities. An administrator can check when a user logged in, what tasks he is working on, what companies are opened and the time spent completing a specific task. This helps you to gauge how efficient an employee is and if there is an issue that needs to be addressed.
