Tax, Audit and Accounting Site Meets Many Needs

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., November 10, 2003) – Whether looking for authoritative tax and accounting research solutions, breaking tax news, or the latest in tax, audit and accounting software, busy professionals can now find everything they need at a single, consolidated web site: Tax.CCHGroup.com. The site brings together all the tax and accounting related products and services of CCH INCORPORATED (CCH), Aspen Publishers and CCH Tax Compliance in one site that is easy to navigate and use.

In October, 2001, CCH and Aspen created the Tax.CCHGroup site. Now, users of the ProSystem fx Office suite of tax and accounting solutions will be automatically directed to the new combined site while the former CCH ProSystem fx site, prosystemfx.com, will be discontinued.

"Many ProSystem fx customers also subscribe to CCH tax and accounting research services and buy CCH and Aspen products," said Kevin Robert, CEO of CCH Tax and Accounting. "Now, with a single sign-on, they’ll be able to do whatever they want – whether it’s checking on their account, signing up for a seminar, updating their software or ordering a product from the online store – quickly and easily."

"Integrating the customer service and support applications the companies offer into one well-designed site will provide an improvement in service to our customers," Robert added.

In addition to expanding to serve ProSystem fx customers, the Tax.CCHGroup site has been redesigned so that visitors can easily explore the complete range of tax, audit and accounting products and services available to them.

The new site points the way toward the future of the new CCH Tax and Accounting Unit, according to Robert.

"The combined site allows us to share our vision as the leading provider of integrated tax and accounting research and software solutions that will improve the workflows and enhance the productivity of our customers," Robert said.
