Attaché has been part of the Australian business accounting landscape for decades. Many mid-sized businesses relied on it for inventory, payroll, and financial management. As support contracts lapse and the software ages, businesses face an increasingly urgent question: how do we get our data out?
The Attaché problem
Attaché Business Solutions has a long history in Australia — the software powered accounting and distribution operations at thousands of businesses. But the product has aged, and businesses face real challenges:
- The software requires specific versions of Windows that are approaching end-of-life
- Payroll module compliance has become uncertain as legislation changes
- The IT infrastructure needed to run Attaché is increasingly difficult to maintain
- Modern alternatives (Xero, MYOB, NetSuite) require a migration that Attaché doesn’t make easy
- Years of financial history, inventory records, and payroll data are at risk
The biggest migration challenge is the depth of Attaché data. Transaction history, inventory movements, payroll records, creditor and debtor ledgers — all stored in formats that modern systems need help reading.
What I do
- General ledger and transaction history extraction
- Accounts payable and receivable record recovery
- Inventory and stock movement history
- Payroll records and employee history
- Chart of accounts migration to new platforms
- Structured export for import into Xero, MYOB, or your chosen replacement
What I need
- Access to the Attaché installation or data files
- The version of Attaché you’re running
- A description of which modules you use and what data is most important
Tell me about your Attaché situation
Describe what version you're running, what data you need to recover, and what you're migrating to. I'll respond with an honest view of the options.
