BillSoft® and LogiSense Partner to Provide Integrated Taxation and Billing Solution
Cambridge, ON, May 16, 2005: BillSoft, Inc., the market leader for taxation,
and LogiSense Corporation, the world's leading provider of IP Billing and
network service management products for service providers competing in the
converged IP services market, today announced an alliance to provide joint
customers with an integrated, real-time billing and taxation solution that
enables service and telecommunications providers to offer comprehensive,
accurate billing and taxation for existing and new services.
With over 200,000 different taxes in the U.S.,
service providers are faced with challenges that make provisioning for and
calculating communications taxes an incredibly complex task. With the
integrated solution from LogiSense and BillSoft, EngageIP Billing/OSS customers
can now subscribe to BillSoft’s EZTax license or ASP model to automate the
complex process of identifying the changes in taxation for each of their
service areas, ensuring all taxes collected are current and accurately
calculated.
"The demand for service providers to address the convergent IP services market is
driving the need for a ‘best-of-breed’ back-office taxation and billing
solution, critical in the reduction of capital expenditures, while realizing a
fast return on investment." said Louie Conceicao, Director of Marketing,
LogiSense Corporation.
"Tax reconciliation and compliance is exceedingly difficult for today’s operators to
handle," said Vicki Klein, President of BillSoft. "The powerful combination of
EngageIP Billing/OSS and EZTax provides customers with highly flexible and
automated processes, resulting in systems that offer improved accuracy and
proper billing and revenue collection. This also offers increased control over
the systems for a quick and easy roll-out of new product and service
offerings."
The integrated solution, which includes BillSoft’s EZTax and the LogiSense EngageIP
Billing/OSS rating and billing solution is designed to capture, label, group
and provision customer data for rating and billing in real-time according to
federal, state, county and local tax rules and is currently in the rollout
phase with initial joint customer deployments.
