MYOB’s new compliance tools are starting to become available online. However, many practices will continue to use desktop software for portions of their work, and in particular, for their document management capabilities.
This article describes the best practice for MYOB Document Manager customers to ensure that the practice can maintain a single source of truth and make the most of their Document Manager features.
Background
Historically, MYOB Practice software was deployed and managed in the practices’ own facilities. This enabled tight integration between the Document Manager software and the AE/AO software but required the practice to manage updates and manage costly infrastructure.
With the move to online compliance, software updates are automatically applied and practices can begin transitioning away from costly infrastructure.
However, MYOB’s online replacement for the desktop document manager software is not yet available, and the online software does not integrate directly with the desktop Document Manager due to security and technical concerns.
The following is the best practice to make the most of your desktop document manager software and the efficiency of the online compliance tools.
Best practice
For users of the MYOB Document Manager software, we recommend that the desktop software remains as the single source of truth for your documents and the best method for sharing documents with your clients via the Client Portal (including the icons in which you can tell if published to portal and signed, etc.)
