Avalara, Inc., a leading provider of tax compliance automation for business, today announced that PortaOne, a global software developer of BSS and OCS solutions, has fulfilled Avalara’s rigorous certification requirements and has joined its community of certified solution partners. Avalara’s solution partners are software publishers that integrate Avalara’s software as a service (SaaS) for tax compliance, including communications taxes, directly into their own applications.
As a result of this partnership, communications service providers (CSPs) that use PortaOne’s PortaBilling, a customer management, services provisioning and fully converged billing platform can now benefit from Avalara, which automatically calculates applicable taxes, fees, and surcharges for every billing line item, in real-time. Avalara helps reduce the tedious work and complexity of calculating taxes for millions of products and services across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and dozens of other international jurisdictions, giving CSPs more time to focus on driving their own business success. In addition, PortaOne customers can add Avalara’s tax return preparation, filing, and remittance services.
We’re pleased to partner with Avalara to provide PortaOne customers with a streamlined and accurate way to calculate communications tax. In today’s rapidly changing and expanding communications industry, Avalara’s leading expertise stands alone, providing our CSPs with the specialized automation they need to effectively manage tax compliance.
