MYOB Enterprise and MYOB Exo Overview

About MYOB Exo

Exo is the most powerful software within the MYOB range of business software packages. Exo is based on client server systems architecture and is a highly scalable multi-user accounting and business software system. The inherent design and SQL architecture of Exo makes an ideal package for integration with other systems.

Many people are familiar with MYOB's entry level systems - the AccountRight and LiveAccounts packages, which are the most popular accounting software solutions for small businesses in Australia. They are produced by one Australia's most successful and innovative software companies - MYOB Technology.

In addition to MYOB's small business software packages that are sold in retail shops (e.g. Officeworks), the MYOB company is also the developer of the MYOB Enterprise / MYOB Exo range accounting and business software for medium-sized business organisations. MYOB Exo provides a simple upgrade path for organisations upgrading from MYOB and other brands of small business software packages. MYOB Exo is one of Australia's most popular business packages for organisations with 10 to 500 employees... situations where performance, scalability, reliability and systems integration are vital factors. The MYOB Exo range is also ideal for organisations wishing to integrate their accounting software with e-Commerce systems, CRM software or requiring integration with specialised software systems.

The MYOB Enterprise range of business software includes the MYOB Exo Business and the MYOB Exo Employer Services software suites.

MYOB Exo can be tailored to suit the needs of your business and therefore it is sold through specialised business partners who have the skills and experience to analyse your business system requirements, are able to tailor your MYOB Exo system to meet the specific needs of your organisation as well as provide ongoing support and enhancement for your MYOB Exo business system. This level of business analysis, tailoring and support are generally not available in a retail shop environment. Communicat has 24 years' experience as a business system integrator and we are an authorised MYOB Exo partner. We have the expertise to answer your question and provide you with a complete business system proposal.

Many small businesses start with one of the MYOB entry level packages including MYOB AccountRight Standard, MYOB AccountRight Plus, MYOB AccountRight Premier and MYOB AccountRight Enterprise. As your business grows to a stage where you need more powerful software you may wish to consider taking the upgrade path to the MYOB Enterprise software packages - MYOB Exo Business and MYOB Exo Enterprise Services.

Why should you choose MYOB Exo?

MYOB Exo provides a number of major advantages for medium-sized organisations, typically ranging between two to 100 workstations (typically 10 to 500 employees).

• Microsoft SQL Database compatibility - MYOB Exo uses the Microsoft SQL database engine to store your data
• Highly scalable with Client-server architecture - Exo is based on client-server distributed processing architecture so that major systems functions are processed on your main file server, leaving workstations (PCs) to process each individuals local processing requirements. This distributed processing model uses the full power of the server and the workstation with the result that high performance can be maintained as your system grows to accommodate additional users and systems integration requirements.
• Integration - MYOB Exo is designed to facilitate integration with third-party and tailored business systems. Many organisations reach a stage when they need tailored operational software systems, e-Commerce, Electronic Data Integration, etc. The SQL database architecture on which MYOB Exo is built provides an ideal method for integration for additional software systems which are specific to your business.
• e-Commerce systems / e-Business - The integration capabilities of MYOB Exo make it an ideal package for integration with e-Commerce systems where rapid online processing is required.
• Electronic Data Interchange EDI - Integration with customers EDI systems is a common aspect of MYOB Exo and is one of the reasons why organisations install Exo.
• Multi-user. MYOB Exo is designed from the ground up to provide true multi-user functionality whilst maintaining high performance as the number of users increases. Typical MYOB Exo systems range from two to 50 workstations, and some sites operate more than 100 Exo workstations. Accounting systems which are not based on client-server architecture will slow down as the number of users grows.
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM). We are able to integrate MYOB Exo with a range of popular CRM packages including Microsoft CRM and ZumeIn CRM. MYOB Exo is also suitable for integration with other popular CRM and Contact Manager packages including salesforce.com etc.
• Performance on large databases. With small business software packages there is a tendency for the system to slow down as the size of the database increases. MYOB Exo has been designed to take advantage of the processing power of the Microsoft SQL database and ensure efficient operation as the business grows and the database size increases.
• Management reporting. Communicat consultants are trained and experienced in developing reports using popular reporting software including Crystal Reports and Microsoft Reporting Services. These reporting software packages are designed to operate at high speed using the Microsoft SQL database engine.
