Sabrix Wins Best of SaaS Showplace Award

Transaction Tax Management Solutions Help Companies Improve Compliance While Reducing Staff and Operating Expenses

THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that Sabrix, Inc. has been named the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.

The BoSS Awards program was announced in January 2009 as the latest initiative by THINKstrategies to bring attention to SaaS and cloud computing companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.

Sabrix, Inc. is a leading provider of transaction tax management software and services for companies of all sizes. Sabrix Managed Tax Service (MTS) is an outsourced sales and use tax compliance service that allows companies to entrust their compliance obligation to Sabrix tax experts. Sabrix MTS combines the services of professional tax experts with best practice methodologies and a SaaS version of Sabrix's tax software.

Epocrates provides mobile and web-based clinical references and decision support services, including the most popular iPhone medial application, to more than 900,000 healthcare professionals worldwide. The company continues to grow rapidly with more than one in three physicians relying on its software and collaborations with government, pharmaceutical and market research organizations. It needed to find ways to comply with its rising tax obligations without assuming greater administrative costs. Epocrates estimates that it has generated $200,000 annual savings using Sabrix MTS, including $150,000 due to the automation of the tax management process and not having to retain in-house tax experts. Plus an additional $50,000 savings in subscriptions to tax sources and tracking jurisdictions and tax rate changes with software and technology savings using a SaaS solution rather than an on-premise application.

It is for these reasons that Sabrix has been named a Best of SaaS Showplace Award winner. A full description of the company's winning BoSS Award submission can be found at http://www.saas-showplace.com/awardSummary.php?key=529.

"We are pleased to receive the BoSS Award, and join the select group of SaaS vendors whose solutions have been recognized for delivering real results to companies of all sizes," said Pam Kostka, SVP of Corporate Marketing, Sabrix. "This award is important as it provides current and future Sabrix customers with a new model for achieving sales and use tax compliance with confidence, while eliminating expensive and redundant internal costs."

"Keeping pace with escalating government regulations, including tax obligations, can be a complicated and costly process," stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, the founder of the SaaS Showplace and Managing Director of THINKstrategies, the strategic consulting firm which conceived and administers the Showplace. "The Sabrix MTS clearly shows how SaaS-based professional services can offset many of these costs and ensure corporate compliance."
