Re: Sales tax calculation solutions

We use Avalara SalesTaxII product. It is iSeries based and interfaced with COM. However I just heard about a week ago that Avalara is dropping support (including the monthly rate updates) of SalesTaxII at the end of 2016. Their alternative solution is AvaTax which is a web service type interface. They supposedly have an off the shelf interface for XA COM for AvaTax. I have a meeting with my Avalara sales rep later today. I'll let you know if I find anything else out.

We are a COM / IFM shop, currently at R7.8.

We currently use an Avalera solution for calculating sales taxes. I'm investigating other options and would appreciate any input. What solution do you use? Is it well-integrated with XA (i.e., reasonably "plug and play")? Does it reside local or is it cloud-based? Is it very expensive? How would you rate the vendor's support?

Thanks.
