Online Education Innovator Gives Virtual Internet Cloud Services an A+
Posted: at 4:48 pm
Providence, Utah (PRWEB) March 01, 2012
Virtual Internet, a leading provider of high availability hosting solutions for mission critical websites and applications, today announced that it has been selected by the leading innovator of live, one-to-one online instruction, Grade Results, to deliver cloud hosting.
Grade Results provides one-to-one online tutoring and interactive, multimedia courseware that is completely customized for each student. The company approached Virtual Internet looking for a high-availability hosting environment that would be able to support their online learning platform and allow the flexibility to scale in tandem with the rapid growth that Grade Results is currently undergoing.
Prior to Virtual Internet, we had dedicated servers with another hosting provider but we outgrew the solution, and purchasing additional dedicated servers would have made for an unnecessarily complex infrastructure, said Grade Results founder and COO, Craig Ullman.
Virtual Internet worked to understand Grade Results existing infrastructure set up and current and future business goals, then proposed a cloud hosting solution that would deliver the flexibility to scale the service as and when needed.
Grade Results is an online service and our students are logging on 24/7 from across the United States to access our courses, said Ullman, so it was crucial that our hosting provider be able to deliver a high availability platform. Grade Results evaluated several other cloud service providers, but selected Virtual Internet because of its enterprise-class, always up hosting environment, technical support and very competitive pricing. Virtual Internet offered the best bang for the buck; it ended up being an easy choice.
Choosing an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model for their hosting requirements has eliminated the necessity to employ infrastructure technicians in house. Instead, Grade Results has a team of software developers and designers that focus on innovating and driving the Grade Results business offerings forward.
Having fast and reliable technical support from Virtual Internet has been invaluable to us. With Virtual Internet, we have the confidence that we can keep growing our business without running into any limits with our supporting IT infrastructure, said Ullman. With the Virtual Internet cloud hosting solution in place, we can grow to support massive numbers of users. Grade Results serves clients throughout the Southeast and Mid-South regions of the United States, and recently opened new offices in Boston, Massachusetts and Madison, Wisconsin. "Grade Results is a great example of how Virtual Internet can provide a valuable service to a busy customer to which high-availability is paramount" commented Patrick McCarthy, Managing Director, Virtual Internet. "Because we provide Infrastructure-as-a-Service, business IT leaders can concentrate on driving their organization forward, rather than having the constant worry of whether they have the agile and reliable IT infrastructure in place to support business demand."

The Income Tax School Ranked #1 for Online Tax Education
Posted: at 4:30 pm
With the new IRS Regulation of Tax Preparers here, a basic competency test and continuing education are now a requirement. Trendlists.com announced that The Income Tax School has been ranked as the #1 Income Tax Online Education Website in its list of Top 3 online tax education websites.
Richmond, VA (PRWEB) February 29, 2012
TrendLists.com cited the comments below in Ranking The Income Tax School at #1 in its list of Top 3 Trusted Income Tax Online Education Websites.
This is the best income tax online education website that people could find these days. People would find a number of tax courses here that would really help them a lot.
People who want more than just study income tax online could also choose to train their employees here or have a tax business of their own, lots of opportunities here.
Those who are interested could check out a lot of stuff in this income tax online school. People are properly guided here--how to start and other things that they need.
Charles E. McCabe, CEO of Richmond-based The Income Tax School, noted that new IRS Regulation of Tax Preparers became effective January 1, 2012 that will require all unenrolled preparers (those who are not CPAs, Enrolled Agents or attorneys) to complete 15 hours of Continuing Education (CE) annually from an IRS Approved CE Provider such as The Income Tax School. In addition, currently registered preparers must pass a new IRS Preparer Competency Exam by 2013. After April 2012, all new preparers must pass the exam before they can be issued a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) by the IRS to begin practicing as tax preparers.
According to the IRS, higher standards will boost service and protections for taxpayers, increase confidence in the system and yield greater compliance with tax laws. Previously, preparers have been regulated only in California and Oregon. McCabe commented: The new IRS regulations will also provide independent tax professionals who meet the new standards with more credibility and position them as an affordable, professional alternative to large accounting firms.
The Income Tax School offers an affordable Tax Pro Career Package which includes the Comprehensive Income Tax Course to prepare people with no prior tax or accounting experience or education for new careers as tax preparers. Students learn to prepare all Form 1040 tax returns, including self-employment. The Comprehensive Course covers every subject on the IRS Competency Exam and includes a free IRS Exam review. The package also include a free guide to comply with IRS preparer regulations and a 50% discount on the graduates first year seminar package to meet the IRS Continuing Education requirement. A Tax Pro Business Package is also offered with practice management guides to get started as a home-based tax business owner.
After completing the Comprehensive Income Tax Course and gaining experience as tax preparers, graduates may continue their education by taking Advanced and/or Small Business Tax Courses. The Income Tax School offers a certificate program including the Comprehensive and four advanced courses leading to the designation of Chartered Tax Professional (CTP). A graduate of the CTP program is encouraged to then become an IRS Enrolled Agent (EA), the most significant credential a tax professional can attain. The CTP program covers all topics on the IRS EA Exam and CTP graduates are offered a high-quality EA Exam Review at a discount.
