BillSoft® Announces the Release of Their Latest EZTax® Benchmark

Lenexa, KS, October 21, 2002: BillSoft, Inc., a software company servicing the telecommunications industry announced today their latest milestone of their EZTax® taxation software. A benchmark study, performed on October 11, 2002, verified that BillSoft’s EZTax taxed over 1.8 billion transactions in one hour.

"This clearly distinguishes BillSoft’s EZTax product as the highest performance telecommunications taxation engine available," said Vicki Klein, president of BillSoft. "To put this high performance in perspective, customers will see no substantial increase in bill-processing times from performing processing without taxation. Other tax products on the market typically double the time it takes for an organization to perform the rating function. Compared to competing products EZTax processes transactions up to 125 times faster. The technology utilized to achieve this remarkable performance also simplifies the integration process. Organizations often spend many times the yearly license fees to integrate other products for taxation, whereas EZTax has been up and running at a customers facility in as little as a day. There has never been a better time to consider BillSoft’s EZTax, whether a company licenses the product for in-house billing or prefers to outsource with our BillSoft Online offering. Simply put, EZTax is the highest performance and most comprehensive tax system offered at this time," said Klein.

The benchmark produced the following results:

1,894,953,103 transactions taxed per hour
31,582,551 transactions taxed per minute
526,375 transactions taxed per second

This test was performed on a DellTM DimensionTM 4500 Series system (serial number 6BWMY11) with a 2.8GHz Pentium® 4 processor. The system has 1GB DDR SDRAM at 266MHz, with an 80GB Ultra ATA/100 hard drive (7200RPM), 533MHz Bus, and an Intel ® 82801 ATA Ultra disk controller. The system uses the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 operating system.
