New Member Benefits

The AAA-CPA has added two new technology-related member benefits that should be very beneficial and worthwhile for members:

Remote Data Backups - Remote Data Backups will allow members to backup their computer via a remote and secure server. Remote Data Backups protects your data against every

kind of data loss risk, not just hard drive failure. Protect your files from all technical, human, and natural disasters. Remote Data Backups is ideal for backing up servers, desktops, laptops, home PCs, etc. Virtually any file such as accounting and financial files, Microsoft Office files, and e-mail correspondence & contacts from Outlook, Outlook Express, ACT!, Eudora, etc. can be backed up securely. The program is easy to set up and use. No more backing up crucial files to thumb drives or tapes drives that you must remember to take offsite. AAA-CPA members will get a special free 60 day trial of this program. The usual trial is just 30 days. There are four backup options available based on the amount of data to be backed up. To get the 60 day trial, go to the following website: www.rdbup.com/?id=AAACPA.

Cloudmark Desktop - Cloudmark Desktop protects users from over 98% of spam and fraud with zero false positives, before they cause harm. Like many members, the AAA-CPA staff had been receiving hundreds of spam messages a week. The staff has been using Cloudmark for over 5 months and has been very impressed. It uses highly sophisticated groundbreaking technology, feedback is corroborated in real time, so that only a few people ever have to see a spam e-mail before it is blocked for everyone. Cloudmark Desktop is entirely transparent and requires no configuration, making it powerful, yet simple and easy to use. It is a subscription based program costing $39.95 a year however, we have worked out a special arrangement with them to have this offered to AAA-CPA members at a 25% discount ($29.96) if you sign up from August 1 to October 31. To get Cloudmark Desktop, call 800-262-0582 and mention discount code: NY880227. This program works only with Outlook and Outlook Express.
