Hi all,

 

It was a big week for mobile news, with Apple unveiling its new iPhone 6 and Apple Watch this week. MYOB also released its exciting new OnTheGo mobile app for iOS and Android devices.

 

With OnTheGo, we have taken some of the great features of MYOB AccountRight and made them mobile. The free app is a quick and easy way for MYOB AccountRight subscribers to invoice and manage their contacts, and see who owes them money. You can take control of your cash flow in just a few taps. We think the app will save you time as the app does the hard work of updating your accounts in MYOB AccountRight automatically wherever you are.

• Mobile invoicing – for managing, creating, editing and sending invoices from your smartphone.

 

• Mobile contacts – for managing, creating and editing contact details of customers and suppliers from your smartphone (includes integration with mapping software to find directions to clients).

 

• Your accounts in MYOB AccountRight are automatically updated so no need to re-key any invoice, customer or payment data back at the office saving you time and money.

 

It's been another busy week here on the Community Forum, with over 1120 posts in the past seven days and over 350 newcomers joining the community. A very warm welcome to all our new members!

 

Our top contributors for the week were fiona-s, Dee-Workman, PaulBihet, The_Doc and jenniek. The star of the week was definitely fiona-s, with an amazing eight posts marked as Accepted Solutions. Fantastic work Fiona! Many thanks also to Dee-Workman, ronatbas, The_Doc and Geoff_  who had multiple posts marked as solutions.

 

Thanks again to all those community users who so generously shared their knowledge and experience on the forum this week. Feel free to give me a shout if you need anything.

 

Love your work,

    JasonHill will MYOB be bringing out something like on the go for Mac users? and cloud facility for Mac also?

  • Hi fiona-s 

     

    We have had an AccountEdge Mobile companion app which syncs with AccountEdge available on the App Store for some time. And we will be making PayDirect compatible with MYOB Essentials, which will cater to Mac users. 

     

    As for cloud capabilities for AccountEdge, unfortunately that is not on our product roadmap. If Mac users want all of the features of AccountRight they can choose to run AccountRight on Windows on their Mac using a tool like Parallels. We do have clients successfully using the software with this set-up. Mac users of course can also choose our web-based online accounting offering MYOB Essentials.

     

    All the best,

    Thanks JasonHill 

     

    I use VMware to run all my clients windows MYOB programmes, but I prefer Mac for myself... not real reason, just because :D   

     

    Thanks for letting me know all the same.
