MAGIQ Software – celebrating 40 years*

MAGIQ Software is proud to celebrate 40 years of business success.

MAGIQ Software’s journey began on the 15th of February 1980. Since that time, we have helped over 550 global public sector and social service businesses meet their finance and administration needs through the supply of quality software and services.

About our ERP Solution

MAGIQ Software offers councils an Amazon Web Service (AWS) delivered Cloud Platform enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to meet the diverse operational and regulatory requirements of Local Government. 

The Platform is inclusive of our market leading Budgeting and Reporting Solution and Document Management Solution, both of which can be purchased and implemented independently. 

Currently 223 councils in Australia and 45 councils in New Zealand are using various elements of the MAGIQ Cloud Platform.

The local government sector is undergoing a generational enterprise resource planning system churn. MAGIQ Software is a very experienced local government vendor and is seeking to capitalise on the market refresh to supply a very affordable, fully integrated cloud-delivered Local Government Platform solution.

Recently, five South Australian councils selected the MAGIQ Cloud Platform as their new ERP. They include the District Councils of Karoonda East Murray, Streaky Bay, Wudinna, Kimba and Peterborough.

Our Business Philosophy

At MAGIQ Software we are passionate about what we do and our many long term business partnerships are testament to the excellent customer service experience we deliver. 

We enjoy working collaboratively and honestly with our customers to ensure we meet their business needs.
