Our Story

Some companies are borne on a dollar and a dream. Some are a byproduct of circumstance. Acclivity was built on a little bit of both.

In December of 2005, sensing divergent strategic directions, two members of MYOB''s US management team reached agreement with MYOB Ltd. to purchase the US company and take it private. The idea was to service the US market locally and be free to pursue opportunities that made local sense.

Checkout Point of Sale for Mac and the resultant joint venture, Werck BV, is the best example of Acclivity spreading its entrepreneurial wings. Still, the MYOB product line was developed by MYOB Ltd. with Acclivity acting as distributor.

Fast-forward to November of 2008. In order to craft one’s own destiny, one must partake in the act of crafting. With this in mind, Acclivity fashioned a new agreement with MYOB Ltd., this time to purchase their US development company, responsible for making the global Mac product line. Distributors-turned-developers. A small business making small business software. A big company made small. A re-startup.
