Case Study: MYOB reduces infrastructure costs by 30% and scales reliably with Amazon Web Services (AWS)

MYOB - Customer Case Study

MYOB, a Melbourne‑headquartered provider of online business management solutions used by 1.2 million small and medium businesses and accountants across Australia and New Zealand, needed an infrastructure that could scale cost‑effectively, meet data‑sovereignty and latency requirements, and maintain high availability for services like accounting, payroll and ERP. The company also wanted to avoid the expense and management burden of owning datacenter hardware while supporting rapid product growth and customer demand.

MYOB moved core systems to AWS (using EC2, RDS, Route 53, S3, CloudWatch, CloudFormation, and Enterprise Support) and worked with partners such as Fronde and ITOC/TOC for design and cost optimization. The migration and cloud architecture enabled on‑demand scaling and reserve‑instance savings, cutting infrastructure costs by about 30%, supporting 204% year‑over‑year growth for MYOB Advanced, and delivering availability above 99.9% with only one outage in five years.
