Is your data on your server ?

If you are connecting a system that is installed "on-premise" - i.e. the database or company file is on a server on your premises then you will need to run a connector that allows you to link it to the cloud. Typically MYOB Classic, MYOB AccountRight Live Server Install, EXO, SAP B1, Datapel fall into this category.

We recommend in this situation that you Sign Up through a computer that has access to the datafile, preferably the server itself.

If you are using a cloud based product like MYOB AccountRight Live or Intuit QuickBooks Online or Xero then this data is on the respective MYOB Cloud and Intuit Cloud servers and Xero Cloud servers and we connect directly to the cloud servers the applications run on. 

The various connections options are listed in connection types

You will see the following form displayed when you click on Free Trial (without the red dots)

What do we need in fields with the red dots ?

1. Your full name
2. The email address you can be contacted through. This will be your login ID for logging into the BI4Cloud servers
