RE: i Tax Rate Software

Bill,

" Note the iSeries version is no longer supported by the VERTEX Group."
Please be careful with this statement...

On the IBM i, Vertex sells TWO possible solutions; Sales and Use Tax (LEGACY), or Sales Tax Q-Series.

The LEGACY product is not being enhanced anymore, but I believe they still support it (take your money) and provide data updates. It is written in RPG (3) and is NOT worth the storage it takes to load...

The Q series product is ILE, written in C and SQL, and is fully supported. Vertex does not seem to understand that RPG ILE developers can use the Q series product, as I've never heard of anyone else using Q-series in RPG ILE. This product is normally what they sell to ERP customers, where the ERP vendor has written the interface to implement Vertex for their environment.

Hth,
-Eric DeLong

Hey Michael,





They just came back and said no...



But I can tell one of our sites uses the iSeries version and the other
VEXTEX O which is the web service version.



Note the iSeries version is no longer supported by the VERTEX Group.



Wish I could share more but the contract did say.......
