LAGUNA HILLS, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
SpeedTax, a provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), fully-automated sales tax
management solutions, today announced a product that gives SAP ERP customers
access to the most technologically advanced, easy-to-use and affordable sales
tax calculation, returns and remittance solutions available today. 

SpeedTax now offers a standard interface from SAP to SpeedTax, the proprietary
SAP Tax Bridge for SpeedTax, enabling true SaaS sales tax functionality for SAP
ERP customers. As a secure, fully-hosted solution, SpeedTax automatically
maintains all rate and taxability rules for goods and services, allowing
SpeedTax customers to spend less time on maintaining their system and more time
on value-added activities. 

In addition, SpeedTax for SAP ERP introduces a new standard in address
validation, with addresses being validated to the rooftop level via
state-of-the-art geocoding technology, and matched against the U.S. Postal
Service system.

through its status as a Streamlined Sales Tax Certified Solution Provider, one
of only four companies certified in the U.S. by the Streamlined Sales Tax
Governing Board. SAP customers who choose SpeedTax for SAP ERP are selecting a
