How We Helped Data Voice Move from a Legacy MYOB System to a Scalable Simpro + Xero Setup
When a company’s technology no longer supports its growth, it’s time to evolve. That’s exactly what Data Voice—a well-established Australian provider of voice and data networking solutions—faced after more than a decade on a legacy MYOB system.
Their trusted system had served them well, but it was reaching its limits. Everything—operations, finance, payroll—was stored in one server-based platform. As the company grew nationally, it became harder for employees to work efficiently, for management to access insights, and for the business to scale.
They needed a modern, flexible system. But they also needed one that didn’t disrupt years of historical data.
The Challenge: Don’t Lose the Past, While Building for the Future
Data Voice’s biggest hurdle wasn’t just changing systems—it was safely moving years of critical data to new platforms, without losing context or performance.
They wanted to:
Replace the aging MYOB system
Ensure finance and job data were migrated cleanly
Give their team access to both historic and active job information
Avoid starting from scratch or losing valuable records
The Solution: Simpro + Xero + Aloka’s Migration Tool
We worked closely with the Data Voice team and Simpro consultants to map out a smart, phased migration. After extensive testing, we chose Simpro for job and operations, and Xero for finance and payroll.
Using our Aloka Migration Tool, we:
Split the data into operational (jobs) and financial (accounts, payroll) categories
Migrated all invoices, bills, credits, payments, and payroll data to Xero
Migrated all past, current, and in-progress jobs to Simpro
Ensured both platforms were fully aligned, without any data loss or mismatch
The key? A tailored migration strategy that preserved what mattered—and built a stronger foundation for the future.
The Outcome: Simpler, Smarter Operations
Today, Data Voice runs their entire national operation across Simpro and Xero—with all the data they need, exactly where it belongs. Their staff works more efficiently, their management has better insights, and the business is now future-ready.
Results include:
Streamlined processes across departments
Faster access to key data and reports
Seamless historical job tracking
Scalable systems ready to support growth
This project is a perfect example of what we love doing at Aloka: taking complex data challenges and solving them with clarity, precision, and the right tech.
