Avalara Inc., (http://www.Avalara.com), a leading provider of sales tax and compliance automation services in the cloud, today announced it has been named as one of the top 100 Coolest Cloud Vendors of 2014 by CRN. The annual list recognizes the most innovative cloud vendors and solutions tailored to address the channel industry’s unique needs. Avalara was honored for its SaaS-based end-to-end compliance platform, AvaTax.
Each year, CRN honors the 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Vendors in an effort to help solution providers navigate the growing cloud marketplace and identify the best solutions to support the IT channel. Winners are named across five major cloud categories including platforms and tools, infrastructure, storage, security and software, based on data and information gathered from both solution provider nominations and the CRN editorial team. Within the 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Vendors list, Avalara was named to the 20 Coolest Cloud Software Vendors category…
Avalara has pioneered a service-based platform for sales tax and compliance automation and has been recognized for years as one of America’s fastest growing technology firms. The company’s cloud solutions help thousands of customers stay focused on their core business by providing automated end- to-end compliance services including sales and use tax calculation, exemption certificate management, filing and remittance, and a broad array of related services.
“The adoption of cloud computing solutions is showing no signs of slowing down as solution providers look to provide their clients with the scalability, flexibility and cost benefits necessary to compete in today’s business environment," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "Each vendor on this list was carefully selected based on its ability to help organizations capitalize on those opportunities.”
“It’s a great honor to be recognized by CRN alongside an impressive list of innovative cloud vendors,” said Pascal Van Dooren, EVP Sales & Marketing at Avalara, and a 2013 CRN Channel Chief. “We’re also pleased to be named amongst a broad representative sample of our integration partners, which further demonstrates the widespread adoption of AvaTax across channels and vendors. In the end it’s all about helping people eliminate the most complex, tedious, and time-consuming aspects of sales tax management – which is very cool indeed.”
