​I think it's reasonable to ​suggest that not all cloud solutions are
inherently less secure than all standalone systems.

One size does not fit all. Knowing the whole landscape is better than not
knowing it. All solutions will have strengths and weaknesses, the
priorities those in need will differ, and we're not here to judge.

One thing Freshbooks appears to do well is manage receivables, which is a
sore point among consultants I know -- quick invoicing, followups, and
facilitation of getting paid. This seems relevant to one of the points
brought up by one person at Tuesday's meeting (ie, getting paid).
