What is Caseware Hybrid Cloud?
Caseware Hybrid Cloud is what we call the integration of Caseware Cloud products with Caseware Working Papers. In this 'hybrid' environment, your organization can benefit from the familiarity of Working Papers, while including the advancements and accessibility that Cloud brings. Setting up a Hybrid Cloud environment will help your organization with the eventual transition to a purely Cloud-based solution.
Integrating Working Papers with Cloud expands the functionality of Working Papers to include Cloud specific features and apps. This integrated environment allows you to easily store and manage your engagement files, improve collaboration between staff and clients and track the progress of your engagement from Working Papers by utilizing Cloud functionality.
Notes:
- To utilize Caseware Hybrid Cloud, your organization must have Working Papers with SmartSync technology. If you do not have SmartSync, see Differences between SmartSync and non-SmartSync, and contact your local distributor for more information.
- Cloud firm authors must perform the necessary setup in the firm template to allow Working Papers users to directly pull documents provided by clients into their file.
