MYOB AccountEdge Network Edition Enhances Speed

Mac small business and accounting software gets first of two planned speed enhancements

June 25, 2008 (Rockaway, NJ) - MYOB US today announced the release of its July 2008 product update, which includes the first of two sets of major speed enhancements for AccountEdge Network Edition, their premium small business management and accounting software for Mac. The product update is free to all version 2008 customers.

The July 2008 product update for Network Edition focuses on speeding up the recording of transactions. MYOB's beta test of the update showed huge gains in speed, as did MYOB's own benchmarking sessions.

"We're pleased to announce these speed enhancements for Network Edition," said Todd Salkovitz, Mac Product Manager, MYOB Ltd. "This was our customers' number one request, and we're really happy with the results we've achieved so far."

Benchmarking conducted by MYOB shows dramatic speed increases with the phase one changes, including some transactions recording close to 30 times faster than in Network Edition version 2008.

The July product update is the first phase of two planned phases of speed enhancements. The second phase, which will focus on list building, is due to appear in the next release of AccountEdge Network Edition.

"With phase 2, we're changing the way Network Edition creates lists," Salkovitz said. "The speed increases you'll see with phase 2 will be profound, as any time the software displays data, it is doing so by building a list."

More information on both phases of the Network Edition speed enhancements, including benchmarking results, can be found at http://www.myob-us.com/accountedge/aene/fast/.

New version introduces credit card processing, multi-user capability, and integration with popular accounting software

March 27, 2008 (Rockaway, NJ) - Werck BV today announced the international release of Checkout 2.0, the total point of sale solution for small to medium sized Mac-based stores. Werck is the joint venture between development studio Sofa and small business-focused MYOB US.

Checkout 2.0 lets retailers process credit cards real-time, create and manage purchase orders, have multi-user access to their store over a network, and integrate their Checkout data with MYOB AccountEdge® or Intuit's QuickBooks® Pro for Mac. Checkout 2.0 runs on Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later.

"Checkout 2.0 is a powerful Point of Sale system with tons of new customer-requested features, but what's most gratifying is that we were able to improve ease-of-use even further," says Dirk Stoop, Partner, Werck BV.

Stock Room
Checkout 2.0's Stock Room lets the Checkout user create and manage purchase orders, reorder stock, and oversee all vendor-related business.

"We're happy to introduce Stock Room in Checkout 2.0," says Werck partner Hugo van Heuven. "Having the ability to create purchase orders in Checkout was a big request from our customers."

Works with Mac Accounting Software
Integration with MYOB AccountEdge and QuickBooks Pro for Mac lets Checkout 2.0 users export journal entries directly into their accounting software.
