Cloud9 Real Time Partners with Avalara for Cloud-Based Sales Tax Compliance Automation

San Diego, California – Cloud9 Real Time, a licensed Commercial Host and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider, today announced a partnership with Avalara, Inc., the leading cloud-based sales tax and compliance automation technology provider.

As a result of this partnership, customers who now use Cloud9 Real Time for outsourced Virtual Server hosting will be able to use Avalara's cloud-based AvaTax™ solution to automatically calculate sales taxes owed on every invoice. This eliminates the tedious work and complexity of calculating taxes across multiple jurisdictions and helps businesses focus on their core offering.

"We're always looking to expand our application offerings to better serve our clients," said Kacee Johnson, Executive Vice President of Cloud9. "The partnership with Avalara will enable our users to easily manage and remain up-to-date on increasingly complicated tax regulations."

Avalara pioneered the service-based compliance platform for sales tax automation a decade ago and today works within a company's own financial, billing, ecommerce, or point of sale system to provide a complete set of transactional tax compliance services for businesses of all sizes.

Jay Deubler, vice president of sales at Avalara said, "We recognize the value Cloud9 Real Time brings to its clients, and are pleased to augment their offerings with our easy and affordable compliance solution. In today's electronic world it just doesn't make sense to manually manage sales tax, and we're convinced all sales and use tax will be automated in the coming years."
