Best-of-breed Systems Now Available in One Solution

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., April 21, 2011) – Businesses looking for easier and more efficient sales and use tax management coupled with advanced procurement functionality can now benefit from a new solution combining the best from two industry leaders. CCH’s state-of-the-art sales and use tax calculation system, CorpSystem® Sales Tax Office (STO), is now a certified integration partner of the TEAMS Exemption Certificate Management (ECM) solution by Imaging Science and Services, Inc. (ISSI). CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business, is the leading global provider of tax, accounting and audit information, software and services (CCHGroup.com). ISSI specializes in complex, business critical financial document management services and tax compliance software (Teamscert.com).

The newly integrated solution, enabling seamless communication between the TEAMS ECM solution and STO web services, is available to all STO customers with specific functionality addressing ECM processing, specific customer data, expiration dates, document management and proactive outreach upon certificate expirations. Benefits for small as well as large businesses taking advantage of this enhanced system include:

• Exemption certificate management support to the STO functionality;
• Increased audit defense and risk mitigation;
• Tax planning support for procurement operations;
• Support for both LCM and SME markets; and
• Minimal behind-the-scenes interaction for configured, automated systems.

“We’re excited to have the best-of-breed ECM provider fully integrated with our latest sales and use tax solution,” said Bruce Krumlauf, CCH Product Line Manager. “We’ve enjoyed a long partnership with ISSI, worked with TEAMS programs for many years and continue supporting customers with our integrated solutions.”

“Partnering with CCH really opens the door for many more businesses to enjoy the efficiency and ease of use of our TEAMS ECM processing,” said ISSI President and Founder, Phil Hodge. “It’s important that small as well as large businesses have the opportunity to improve their sales and use tax operations with this integrated solution designed to seamlessly fit into existing systems.”

Partnering with Industry Leaders
