Taxware, the First Data subsidiary that provides tax calculation and compliance solutions, has formed an Enterprise Solutions Group. Under the direction of Robert Fountain, previously senior manager, Deloitte & Touche National Tax Management Advisory Services, Taxware’s Enterprise Solutions Group will provide adapters for Taxware Enterprise, the company’s global tax engine and flagship product, to the market’s leading enterprise systems, including Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP and J.D. Edwards.
Under Fountain’s leadership, the Enterprise Solutions Group will provide a full range of consulting services to support the Taxware suite of products, facilitating the seamless integration of Taxware solutions with corporate Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Resource Management (CRM) and enterprise finance systems, including billing.
Fountain, who also has consulted independently on tax automation, will serve as Taxware vice president of enterprise solutions. Raymond Remy, previously senior principal consultant at Oracle Consulting, will join Fountain as director of enterprise solutions, as will senior manager of Enterprise Solutions Camilo Paredes, also joining Taxware from Oracle Consulting.
“The formation of our Enterprise Solutions Group is one of a series of strategic initiatives we have planned for the company,” says David Treinen, president of Taxware, a division of First Data Government Solutions. “Our goal is to be the clear choice for global companies who need to calculate taxes accurately and bring themselves into compliance with rapidly changing corporate governance initiatives like Sarbanes-Oxley in the U.S. and comparable legislation in Europe and elsewhere.”
