Mamut & MYOB
Mamut recently bought the distribution rights for MYOB products in the UK and Ireland.
The current MYOB products will be supported until April 2010 for the Windows versions and April 2011 for the Mac products. Support means telephone support is available from MYOB and upgrades including payroll upgrades are supplied by them.
MYOB intend to terminate the datafile reconfirmation process on 31 December 2011. This will prevent continued use of their products other than in 'read only' mode from the first occasion on which a user's datafile requests reconfirmation after that date.
Mac products
Mamut have recently announced that their replacement product for the MYOB Mac range is planned to be available in April 2010. This is great news for Mac users in the UK. Existing users and anyone buying before the release will be able to use their MYOB products until the end of 2011 (unless they want to upgrade earlier) and then upgrade to the new product (additional charges will apply). More details here.
Windows products
MYOB Windows products are no longer available in the UK.
