MYOB considers the investment a move to accelerate the delivery of a cloud solution that has widespread customer demand and appeal.
The investment provides Nimbus with the opportunity to bring forward their delivery roadmap, bringing both integration enhancements and feature upgrades to market on a fast-tracked timeline. For MYOB, this also means positive enhancements for customers using MYOB for document management, including improvements to document versioning, archiving, workflows and online checklists.
