- SAP
I was not directly involved (IT group mainly handled) when we integrated a purchased company, however, from what I was told, the integration was smooth. This is likely the case as we had SAP as an existing platform and this integration (AVATAX) was not started from the ground up.
- Avalara Returns
The ease of electronic filing of returns certainly provides an efficient and effective way to maintain compliance with various tax jurisdictions. Recognizing many jurisdictions require efiling, the tables and other factors of setup within the Avalara system provide ease of use for our compliance obligations.
