History

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.

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.[5]

In 2006, MicrOpay acquired payroll and HR software provider Australian Flagship; who develop and market the Wage Easy payroll system.[6]

During 2021, The Access Group purchased the APAC operations of several Sage Group products, including MicrOpay. [7]
