The End of Life for the MyStaffInfo Module

Everything you need to know about the end-of-life process for the MyStaffInfo module.

Friday June 24th, 2022 MYOB Advanced Payroll, MYOB Exo Employer Services

MYOB has decided to commence an end-of-life process for the MYOB Exo Employer Services MyStaffInfo module in Australia.

Please rest assured that MYOB Exo Business and MYOB Exo Employer Services will be unaffected by these changes.

We are here to guide you through this process and aim to provide alternative options so that your organisation can continue to operate uninterrupted.

How much time do I have before MyStaffInfo’s End of Life date?

On the 8th of October, 2023, MYOB will end the life of MYOB Exo MyStaffInfo. On this date, you will lose access to all data that is still stored within the MyStaffInfo servers. Choosing the right software and migrating to your new solution is important. You must complete your migration to the new system before the 8th of October, 2023. It typically takes 3-4 months to find and transition to a new system that adequately supports your needs. Plan ahead to avoid disruptions and data loss after the end-of-life deadline. The Kilimanjaro Consulting team will safely guide you through this process.

Call us on 1300 857 464 (AU) or 0800 436 774 (NZ), or email sales@kilimanjaro-consulting.com, and our consultants can guide you through this process. Do not wait until the deadline to take action.

In general, the end-of-life process contains two important stages explained below.

End of Support

From the 8th of October 2022, there will be no further software updates or development work outside of critical security updates. MYOB customer support via phone or email will no longer be available. The team at Kilimanjaro Consulting will continue to provide support for our clients who are still using MyStaffInfo at this time.

End of Life

Starting on the 8th of October 2023, you will no longer have access to MyStaffInfo, including historical data. It is important that you migrate to a new Employee Self-Service solution before this time. The Kilimanjaro Consulting team will guide you through the end-of-life process before this date.

Why is MyStaffInfo transitioning to End of Life?

The MyStaffInfo module has been meeting the needs of MYOB Exo Employer Service users for almost 20 years. During this time MYOB has been working on innovative solutions using modern, cloud-based technology that would support users into the future. To accompany this shift in focus, MYOB has decided to discontinue the MyStaffInfo product and move towards solutions that better meet the current and future needs of the market.

While MyStaffInfo is a fully functional platform, it is based on older technology and design principles. This can leave sensitive payroll data open to security risks as other technology continues to develop. MYOB believe they are better placed to protect your data with the latest technology and with the latest Business Management Solutions.

By leveraging the power and flexibility of modern cloud-based solutions, MYOB can further protect your data by offering continuous updates to security. MYOB Advanced is the future-proof solution for growing organisations, with the option to manage your Finance and Operations, Payroll and Workforce from one fully integrated platform.

How to prepare my organisation for the change.

Now is the time to prepare and consider your next steps. At Kilimanjaro Consulting, we recommend upgrading to MYOB Advanced Payroll as its Employee-Self Service functionality is the best replacement for MyStaffInfo.

There are many advantages to MYOB Advanced Payroll:

Take advantage of the integration between MYOB’s products to streamline the payroll process and improve efficiency.
Data migration between two MYOB products is simpler, faster, and cheaper than moving to an independent system.
As your trusted partner, we will take care of everything – with the quality and professionalism that you expect from us. We know your business like no one else and can configure your new system to meet your needs.
Manage your entire payroll from a sophisticated, cloud-based platform; with access to different pay groups and frequencies, leave management, and up-to-date tax information.

It is important that you do not leave this process to the last minute. Give your organisation the flexibility to choose the product that best meets your needs and make the transition in a comfortable timeframe. Our team is always available to help you understand your options and provide trusted advice about your next steps.
