Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our cloud service.
Yes the service runs via a remote desktop session and works independently from your operating system. It therefor works on Windows and Mac computers.
You will still be able to print to most of the printers you are currently using. The printer drivers for the specific printer might need to be installed on the server.
Internet access speeds have increased substantially over the last couple of years. We have found that a 4MB ADSL or 3G is usually sufficient for a decent connection.

The server hardware being used is built for stability and rigorous use and has built in features to ensure high availability. Data remains on the server with only user inputs that are sent over the internet.
You Pastel data remain fully under your control. This is compared with the pure cloud accounting systems where data is stored in a multi-tenant environment.
