Using Excellerate on Multiple Computers

There are two options for using the church management solution on multiple computers.

The easiest and most flexible way is to use our cloud solution – Excellerate Atom.
With Atom you can easily access it from anywhere you have an internet connection – work, home, on the go.
And you can have as many users you want accessing it at the same time.

The other option is to use multi-user add-on for Excellerate Desktop.
This option is usually intended for churches with a wired network and server, and only allows access from the church office.
You usually need an IT person to set up file sharing on the server.

Here are the requirements for the multi-user desktop solution:

  • Everything is installed on your servers and workstations
  • All workstations must have a WIRED connection, not Wifi
  • All servers and workstations must be Windows computers
  • You must be at that office to access the data, you won’t be able to access it from other locations
  • You are responsible for data backups and server maintenance

So, the cloud solution is obviously a better solution, but does require a monthly payment.
The multi-user desktop solution is a one-time cost, but more complicated to set up and not as flexible.
