Sybiz Software is a developer of ERP, payroll and HCM software based in Adelaide, Australia.
Sybiz Software was founded in 1975 [1] [2] by Malcolm and Pegy Boyd, [3] [4] initially producing applications for Hewlett Packard calculators. [3] Soon after, Sybiz branched out into producing ‘microcomputer business software’ and released its first integrated accounting system called Sybiz. [2]
In 1991 Sybiz received acclaim for the release of the world's first accounting program for Microsoft Windows 3.0. [5] at Comdex Las Vegas. [2]
Sybiz was acquired by Softline in 1998 which was in turn acquired by The Sage Group plc in 2003. [1] Sybiz began court proceedings against competitor Advanced Business Manager Pty Ltd in 2004, claiming copyright infringement of their flagship accounting program. [6] The case was settled out of court.
In 2005, Sybiz returned to Australian ownership after a management buy-out, now led by Directors Grant Argy (Research and Development) and Ben O'Brien (Finance and Services).
Sybiz expanded its international presence by acquiring New Zealand distributor Revolution Systems in 2008, [7] then acquiring their Ireland-based distributor in 2015, re-branding as Sybiz Europe. [8]
Sybiz maintains 2 core products, Sybiz Vision and Sybiz Visipay, both serving medium-large style businesses across a range of industries.
Sybiz products are sold through a channel partner network, operating in Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Fiji, Ireland and the UK. [9] Sybiz Head Office is located in Adelaide with offices in Auckland and Dublin, Ireland.
