Independent Systems to offer Sales and Use Tax Compliance Solutions to MAPICS Customers
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 18, 2004 -- Independent Systems and Programming, Inc., a leading provider of software and databases for sales, use and payroll tax compliance, today announced that they have been selected into the MAPICS Certified Partner Program. The partnership calls for Independent Systems to offer sales and use tax compliance software and databases to companies using MAPICS industry-leading ERP systems.
MAPICS ERP for iSeries, MAPICS ERP for Extended Systems, and MAPICS SyteLine ERP systems enable manufacturers to be world class in their industry by allowing them to gain market share, operate at peak efficiency, and exceed customer expectations. By adding Independent Systems' sales and use tax solutions for the United States and/or Canada to any existing MAPICS ERP system, companies can automate the majority of the processes required for sales and use tax compliance affordably all with minimal programming and without any changes to the existing MAPICS ERP system. Along with nearly 500 Independent Systems customers worldwide, MAPICS customers such as , X-Rite, Unarco Material Handling, Inc., and Siegling America discovered that Independent Systems has delivered comprehensive tax rate calculator/accumulator programs, tax rate databases and state tax returns software with accuracy and dependability since 1977 - and at a fraction of the cost of larger competitors.
Independent Systems sales and use tax solutions for MAPICS include: SalestaxII for MAPICS ERP for iSeries; SalestaxPC„· for MAPICS SyteLine ERP; SalestaxPC for MAPICS ERP for Extended Systems; and LaserBridge which facilitates electronic, editable state tax returns for all systems.
"MAPICS customers have been seeking a fully integrated, affordable solution for sales and use tax compliance," said John Osman, President. "For a manufacturer to meet MAPICS' definition of a world-class performer, every employee -- no matter what department they work in - need to be focusing on processes that will improve the company's bottom-line margins. Working with MAPICS, we can help manufacturers avoid the senseless fines associated with many sales and use tax audits and allow the company's employees to focus on things other than monthly tax rate updates and filing returns."
Independent Systems and MAPICS have a history of mutual customers," said Craig McKay, Director of Partner Management for MAPICS. "This partnership formalizes our relationship and we welcome Independent Systems to our Certified Partner Program. Independent Systems has the opportunity to work even more closely with MAPICS customers to help them automate the majority of the processes required for sales and use tax compliance.
As one of MAPICS' newest Certified Partners, Independent Systems exhibited at the 2004 MAPICS "MPower" International Customer Conference in Chicago, June 6-9, 2004. The conference drew over 1,400 participants, a record attendance.
