“Version 8.6 is another exciting stage in the evolution of the MAGIQ Documents Suite. 

Chief Executive Officer MAGIQ Software, Colin Lillywhite, said, “A very easy to use environment for people to efficiently manage documents is increasingly important as organisational content rapidly expands.

“We continue to focus our development efforts on simplicity and ease of use to deliver an enjoyable user experience, which is key to document management take-up across the organisation.

“Version 8.6 significantly extends the rich, functional capabilities of the MAGIQ Documents product suite and is an excellent achievement for our team who have worked very hard to deliver the release.”

More than 500 organisations across Australia and New Zealand, United States, United Kingdom, South Africa and Southeast Asia are using the MAGIQ Platform to meet their finance and administration requirements.
