Important changes to MoneyWorks Gold Sharing

MoneyWorks was designed with the belief that accounting software shouldn’t slow you down. It should be fast, easy to use, immensely powerful and accessible to everyone. Innovation is at the heart of everything we do at MoneyWorks, and we constantly strive to find ways for our users to get the every best without complexity or compromise.

One thing we know from talking to our users is that the business world is experiencing an exceptional period of change at the moment. That’s why it’s a priority for us to offer solutions that keep our clients ahead, but with as little disruption as humanly possible.

Introducing MoneyWorks 8: Server technology transition.

MoneyWorks Gold is supported by an older generation of networking technology. Although many users continue to use the program, their feedback to us is that it not giving them the speed and user experience we strive to deliver. To solve this, with the release of MoneyWorks 8 we will be replacing the MoneyWorks Gold networking technology with the faster and more convenient technology of MoneyWorks Datacentre.

MoneyWorks 8: our best yet.

The debut of MoneyWorks 8 will be an exciting time for MoneyWorks Gold users as they’re introduced to features that thousands of other MoneyWorks users have enjoyed for years:

  • Faster: With Datacentre, your network performance is a whole lot better because it has performance optimisations that are not possible on Gold servers.

    • Complex reports will run much faster.

    • Quicker statement and invoice printing.

  • Easier:
    Custom reports and forms to clients can now be automatically distributed, removing the need to manually install them on each computer.

  • Built-in backup: Daily and monthly backups are automatically done for you. By using Dropbox or OneDrive, you can get automatic (and free) offsite backups.

  • Greater freedom:
    The old MoneyWorks Gold server could not be installed on a server. With the new Datacentre model, you can install it on a desktop, a server, or a cloud server (such as Microsoft Azure).

  • Accessible anywhere, any time:
    Unlike Gold, you can access your Datacentre from anywhere at any time, you just need to configure your router and firewalls. You can also access your accounts from remote devices such as iPads using the provided web apps (or make your own).

  • All users are equal:
    With MoneyWorks Gold, certain operations, such as opening a new period or changing an account code, could only be done by the host machine. With Datacentre, subject to user privileges, any user can do any operation.

  • Fairer licencing:
    MoneyWorks 8 is licenced per concurrent user, not per computer, and it can be used from any computer on your network. You only need to licence up to the maximum number of users at any one time, not for every possible user.

  • Serves multiple company files to multiple users:
    Unlike MoneyWorks Gold, the MoneyWorks Datacentre server allows different users to work on different company files simultaneously.

  • REST and CLI support:
    Unlike Gold, Datacentre has powerful APIs to integrate with other applications, both desktop and cloud.

  • Always up-to-date:
    Upgrades are included for support of latest technologies under our software maintenance plan.

There’s never been a better time to upgrade

We’re giving every MoneyWorks Gold user who wants to upgrade to Datacentre the opportunity to do so at a very special price (the equivalent to what their regular Moneyworks Gold upgrade would be).

Enjoy the first 12 months of upgrades, free

To make sure your new MoneyWorks upgrade is constantly kept up to date with the latest feature and performance updates, MoneyWorks Datacentre is subject to a 15% annual software maintenance fee (which is calculated on the retail value of your then current installation). However, this fee will be waived for the first 12 months for MoneyWorks Gold users who upgrade to MoneyWorks Datacentre.
