The Role of Tax and Compliance In Your ERP Transformation Journey

Tax has taken on increased importance in the ERP transformation process. This is largely due to increasing complexity of tax and compliance regulations on a global scale. 

Businesses today are looking to streamline their processes and standardize on a single source of truth for all their compliance data across all the regions in which they operate.

This process is often complicated by the fact that a lot of existing ERPs are older, on premise or more monolithic. Meaning they don’t have the ability to interface with best of breed third parties for areas such as tax compliance. 

Modern ERPs, however, have the ability, via API, to interface with other systems. This is serving as a catalyst for businesses to begin identifying which data need to be moved and which partner is best suited to meet their organizational needs.
