Single Sign-On
MYOB Acumatica supports Single Sign-On (SSO) and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) across the entire platform for improved security and usability. SSO eliminates the need to remember multiple usernames and passwords by allowing secure logins to many applications with just one set of credentials. It creates a centralised authentication code, which authenticates a user once and then entrusts the information to other applications. This enhances security, saves time, and improves the user experience by reducing the number of passwords that need to be stored, managed, and remembered across multiple portals and systems and by reducing the number of login attempts. By combining SSO and 2FA, organisations can provide their users with a convenient and secure authentication experience across their business management platform.
What does MYOB Acumatica Workforce Management cost?
MYOB Acumatica Workforce Management is a part of the much larger and more complex MYOB Acumatica platform; how much it costs will depend on how much of the platform you wish to use. The entire MYOB Acumatica platform is a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) product. That means your ongoing costs are billed monthly based on the number of licences you require to access the software. Different licences can access different areas of the system and cost a different amount. So, the more of the MYOB Acumatica platform that you use, the higher your monthly costs will be. However, you can add or subtract licences at any time; you will only pay for what you use. SaaS systems are very flexible, supporting scaling requirements and your organisation’s growth.
MYOB Acumatica Workforce Management supports different licences based on how many employees are in your organisation. These different tiers attempt to address the complexity that comes with larger organisations.
MYOB Acumatica Workforce Management also requires a dedicated implementation so that it can be customised to suit your workflows and processes. This is a once-off project, typically completed by an expert implementation provider. It is important to get your MYOB implementation right the first time. For an implementation project, you pay for the consultant’s time and expertise to customise and optimise the system. The complexity of your organisation will affect the project duration and, therefore, the overall cost. Contact us for an estimate based on your specific requirements.
We also recommend that you choose a partner that provides ongoing MYOB Training and Support so that you are not left alone after the implementation. Kilimanjaro Consulting offers various MYOB Support Services and Plans to meet your requirements, from Pay-as-you-Go (PAYG) to Premium support plans.
