MYOB Exo Business is not at end of life. MYOB continues to support and update the platform. Kilimanjaro Consulting continues to offer premium, market-leading support, customisation, integration, training, and business process improvement to our MYOB Exo clients.

MYOB Exo Business is a reliable on-premise Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that has been active in the Australian and New Zealand midmarket for over 2 decades. However, the current technology landscape is undergoing a significant paradigm shift. Cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) systems have become the norm, and Artificial Intelligence is on the rise. But what does the future look like for MYOB Exo Business, and how can it continue to support your business in the face of newer technologies?

Kilimanjaro Consulting is committed to supporting MYOB Exo Business users over the lifetime of their technology journey. MYOB Exo Business will continue to remain a stable and maintained solution in the years to come. And while it remains a favourite system for ANZ businesses, there are many things to be aware of and many important questions about its place in the ANZ ERP market.

Is MYOB Exo End of Life?

No, MYOB Exo Business is neither at the end-of-support nor end-of-life stage.
