History[edit]
MicrOpay was established in 1985 to provide payroll and human capital management technology to businesses in Australia.[2]
The company was later purchased by the Commonwealth Bank in 1995, making it wholly owned by a major financial institution.[3]
In April 2002, MicrOpay was acquired by the large South African based accounting software vendor, Softline.[4] Softline had been well known for its earlier acquisition of international financial suite Accpac, formerly owned by Computer Associates. MicrOpay joined Softline's other Australian purchases, HandiSoft and Sybiz.[5]
Softline was itself acquired in November 2003 by the Sage Group, an FTSE 100 company with over 6 million customers and more than 12,600 employees worldwide.[6]
In 2006, MicrOpay acquired payroll and HR software provider Australian Flagship; who develop and market the Wage Easy payroll system.[7]
During 2021, The Access Group purchased the APAC operations of several Sage Group products, including MicrOpay. [8]
