Avalara Achieves Oracle Validated Integration with Oracle E-Business Suite

Las Vegas, NV - April 13, 2015 - Avalara, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based software delivering compliance solutions related to sales tax, VAT, and other transactional taxes, and a Gold level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), today announced it has achieved Oracle Validated Integration of AvaTax™ with Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.

To achieve Oracle Validated Integration, Oracle partners are required to meet a stringent set of requirements that are based on the needs and priorities of the customers. Avalara integrates with Oracle E-Business Suite to automatically calculate the final sales tax amount in real time on invoices, including new and updated quotes, sales orders and return orders.

”Achieving Oracle Validated Integration gives our customers confidence that the integration between AvaTax and Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 is functionally sound and performs as tested,” said Kevin O’Brien, senior director, ISV and SaaS Strategy, Oracle.  “For solutions deployed on premise, in the cloud, or both, Oracle Validated Integration applies a rigorous technical review and test process that helps to reduce deployment risk and improves the user experience of the partner’s integrated offering.”

“AvaTax’s integration with Oracle E-Business Suite can make it easy for customers to install and start saving time,” said Pascal Van Dooren, Chief Revenue Officer of Avalara. “We’re thrilled to achieve Oracle Validated Integration, and pleased to provide our solutions to customers in a fast, easy, and cost effective way. In today’s electronic world it just doesn’t make sense to manually manage sales tax.”

Avalara pioneered a web-based compliance platform for sales tax automation more than a decade ago and now provides a suite of transactional tax compliance services for businesses of all sizes. Today its SaaS solution integrates into numerous ERP systems, accounting packages, commerce shopping carts, Point of Sale systems, and mobile payment platforms.
