Sage Software today announced that Bozzuto’s Inc. and Caterpillar Inc. have implemented Sage Software’s hosted Sage EDP Payroll Tax service. Available as an application service provider (ASP) or on-premises software solution, Sage EDP Payroll Tax is part of Sage Compliance Services and enables companies to automate payroll tax compliance issues, minimizing exposure to penalties and reducing related IT needs.Businesses using the award-winning, patent-pending Sage EDP Payroll Tax can be confident that their tax payments are made to the correct agencies on time; their risk of penalties and interest is minimized; they are up-to-date with the changing regulations of 10,000+ agencies; and their data is available to them 24x7 through online access.
“Before moving to Sage EDP Payroll Tax, we completely outsourced our payroll tax compliance,” said Kim Rainville, retail accounting manager for Cheshire, Conn.-based Bozzuto’s. “We wanted more in-house control, but also complete confidence in our compliance with the latest rules and regulations. Sage EDP Payroll Tax gives us that ‘checks and balances’ system.”
With the hosted version of Sage EDP Payroll Tax, Sage Compliance Services handles the IT management while customers access the system securely via the Web. Users do not require an Oracle® license or Oracle® database administrator (DBA) on staff, do not pay for quarterly updates, and do not need to make expensive hardware purchases.
“The hosted version of Sage EDP Payroll Tax enables us to create efficiencies in our work environment,” said Rick Steipp, payroll tax manager at Caterpillar Inc. in Peoria, Ill., a Sage Compliance Services customer since 1995. “For example, a subsidiary is taking over its own payroll tax responsibilities; something we can easily do in the hosted environment but not with the on-premises software version. The Web-based platform fulfills a department goal to implement world-class solutions, and our IT department can focus on constructive reporting and other strategic activities.”
Offered within the framework of Sage Online Services, Sage Compliance Services are the premier solutions for employer tax compliance, automating payroll tax payments and filings, wage attachments and garnishments, and W-2 processing for employers in every industry. Sage Compliance Services clients include more than 20 percent of the Fortune 500 and hundreds of government agencies, and its executives and tax specialists take an active role on national compliance issues that impact businesses of all sizes.
