Financial software house MYOB says it will have the final piece of its cloud solution in place by the middle of next year, which will allow businesses to decide when they fire up their computer in the morning whether they want to use a locally installed accounting app or run off MYOB's cloud - which will be hosted on the Microsoft Azure platform in Singapore.
