Dallas, Texas ‒ Ryan, a leading global tax services firm, today announced the release of ControlPoint™, a completely reimagined version of the Firm’s existing Exemption Certificate Management (ECM) software application for improving tax compliance and reducing audit exposure. ControlPoint™ is a robust central repository for managing and sharing purchase and/or sales exemption certificates, substantially mitigating audit exposure for missing or incomplete documentation while dramatically improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the tax department. The system provides many ways to send and receive certificates, ensuring client records are complete, and substantial savings from the elimination of unnecessary penalties and interest due to missing certificates are realized.
“We stayed true to our pioneering design vision throughout this ambitious project by asking ourselves what the system could do for the user as opposed to the other way around, resulting in drastic simplification and instinctive user interfaces,” said Jayme Fishman, President of Ryan Software. “Our philosophy from the start was that users should not be forced to read an instruction manual to operate this important and powerful business tool, and we accomplished that and many other innovations as a result.”
The intelligent new business logic and redesigned user interface of ControlPoint™ combines unparalleled power with ease of use by focusing on the tasks users perform. For example, information is grouped by actions, and data is seeded to make the activities quick and simple. And the use of wizards ensures that the actions are performed in sequence, providing guidance to accurately complete the minimum steps required. The new version also leverages technologies that ensure consistency across browsers and allow for enhanced functionality like in-browser editing of documents and resizing of screen elements.
“Our tax specialization and awareness of the complexities of tax software have resulted in this breakthrough application that will support effortless exemption certificate management for clients struggling to comply with this critical business process,” said G. Brint Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ryan. “We remain committed to the continued development and improvement of ControlPoint™ and all other Ryan software solutions.”
