Other significant accounting-system integration versions of AvaTax ST are scheduled for release in Q1 and Q2. "AvaTax ST is an affordable alternative to expensive software installations and updates, or worse, the error-prone, manual system of sales tax calculation many businesses now employ," Rawlings pointed out. "When taking on sales tax calculations internally, businesses have the harrying task of assigning one or several of the more-than-8000 U.S. tax jurisdictions to a customer's location and grouping all applicable rates to the customer. On top of that, these businesses have the responsibility to track and apply the more than 900 new sales tax law changes that are enacted in the U.S. market each year. "Other factors," Rawlings noted, "such as product taxability, exemptions, amnesties and a myriad of statutory regulations, which vary state-by-state, must also be taken into account. The more states in which a business has a legal presence, the more complex dealing with sales tax becomes. Savings generated by replacing such a time-intensive, manual updating system with a web-service solution adds directly to the bottom line." "With years of experience managing business solution sales through the channel of VARs, consultants and CPAs, Jason Warren brings to Avalara a proven record of success in creating value for businesses and developing channel relationships for business technology providers," according to according to prep. 1.
