Does your business size matter when using MYOB Advanced?

When it comes to choosing an Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP solution, many businesses find themselves asking the question is my business to big or too small for the solution I am looking at.

The answer usually doesn’t relate to the size of your business and is more related to the complexity of the business processes you are looking to automate with the solution.

However there are a number of key issues that you do need to consider that are tied to the size of your business and your companies ability to digest a new ERP solution.

A good place to start is by asking yourself some of these question covered in this LinkedIn post and talking with a Leverage Technologies Business Analyst.

An additional resource you may find useful is this Clearing the Clouds guide from the SMB Group – it answers a lot of the questions about Cloud ERP that businesses like yours are asking.

MYOB Advanced is cloud ERP software delivered over the internet via web browser technology

MYOB Advanced and MYOB Exo are both Enterprise Resource Planning applications designed to meet the needs of small and midsize enterprises.

In many respects the solutions address similar requirements from a functional perspective however MYOB Advanced is a pure cloud solution – it has been designed for the cloud from day 1 and takes advantage of many of the latest technologies that are driving businesses to prefer cloud-based ERP solutions over what are known as on-premises applications. As a SaaS application (Software as a Service) MYOB Advanced is licensed on a per user per month fee and all the applications are delivered over the internet via a web browser and maintained by MYOB in Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centres.

The costs of software maintenance and operations are all included in the monthly fee.

MYOB Exo is an on-premises application and whilst it is built on older technology, it can be deployed over the internet via technologies such as Citrix or Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Services and is licensed as a perpetual license application – which means you pay a license in full up front for the right to use the software plus an annual maintenance fee and you are responsible for deploying the software on your own servers and workstations. An annual maintenance fee is then paid each year to stay current on support and software upgrades.

MYOB Exo is on premises software that is traditionally deployed in your office and maintained by your own staff

In Australia and New Zealand, MYOB is a household name with 10’s of 100’s of small businesses entrusting their day to day accounting needs to an MYOB solution and 1000’s of accounting practices managing their practices with an MYOB Accountants solution.

But when people think of MYOB, they think of that heritage of serving small businesses with products like AccountRight, Premier and Essentials and many are not aware that there’s a new kid on the block – MYOB Advanced.

MYOB Advanced is built on top of Acumatica, a world class Cloud ERP solution from Seattle, Washington and as a result many of the resources that you may find that refer to Acumatica also apply to MYOB Advanced including many of the technical articles and videos produced by Acumatica.
