Iteration2 was chosen based on deep technical knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics AX and award-winning track record of proven solutions and satisfied customers

Irvine, California – March 12, 2007 – Iteration2 (www.iteration2.com), the award winning provider of enterprise-wide business solutions, announced today the release of a custom AvaTax integration to Microsoft Dynamics AX which was jointly developed by Avalara and Iteration2. This web based sales tax solution will be showcased at Convergence, Microsoft’s annual customer conference currently taking place in San Diego, California.

“Operating as an integral part of the Microsoft Dynamics AX solution, AvaTax now provides end-users, for the first time, with an effective solution for automating tedious and time consuming tasks. By integrating AvaTax with their Microsoft Dynamics AX solution, end-users ensure that their company is in compliance. They also reduce their exposure to audit penalties, and free themselves to focus on revenue-generating activities for their business,” explains Mike Gillis, President at Iteration2.

AvaTax’s easy plug-in capabilities offer Microsoft Dynamics AX users the ability to automate sales tax management without any change to existing workflow. With over 3000 Microsoft Dynamics end-users already using AvaTax for Microsoft Dynamics GP, Microsoft Dynamics NAV or Microsoft .NET applications, this new integration extends the ability to instantly validate the customer’s address, provide a correct sales tax calculation for each transaction, automatically pre-populate returns and furnish up-to-the minute, detailed reporting to Microsoft Dynamics AX users.

“For nearly three years, we have been providing state-of-the-art on-demand sales tax calculations and management services to a growing number of end-users in the fast-growing SMB market,” says Jared Vogt, CEO at Avalara. “While we now serve more than 10,000 end-users, we are excited to be partnering with Iteration2, an award winning Microsoft Gold Certified partner with deep knowledge of the Microsoft Dynamics AX solution, in order to deliver the AvaTax Connector and extend the power of AvaTax to the Microsoft Dynamics AX market. Many users of Dynamics AX have business models that put them at-risk for sales tax compliance, and with AvaTax, they can now relieve themselves of that burden and get back to focusing on generating bottom-line activity.”
