The often shifting sales tax rules and regulations in over 14,000 state and local tax jurisdictions in the USA make sales tax compliance management a daunting task. Supporting ongoing manual changes to 3rd party on-premise business applications increases the burden on IT teams already juggling multiple priorities.

Is this claim too good to be true? Can the Sovos solution hold up to scrutiny and deliver on the sales taxation agility promise?
