Cloud accounting platform, Xero, disclosed two announcements this past week.
First, it announced that its teaming up with Abukai. The partnership will enable Abukai users to leverage Xero’s platform to report expenses.
On its blog, Xero describes how it works:
“Take a photo of your receipts and when ready, the expense data is automatically imported into Xero as an expense claim. A copy of the photo is attached to each receipt.”
Second, Xero announced that its partner, LiveMigrate, launched a standalone service to help MYOB customers migrate their accounting software from MYOB to Xero.
Cloud computing analyst, Ben Kepes, explains that LiveMigrate is about “showing people that there’s an easy way to get out of the hell which is MYOB”. Depending on the level of functionality consumers need, LiveMigrate will cost users anywhere from NZ$249 to NZ$749.
