I'd also be curious to see if they plan to handle Operations Management integration as well.

I asked DSTax if I could see the current version (as they indicated an expected release in July)... "It is still in development."
I asked if they were partnering with a Sage Master Developer... "We are developing inhouse"
I just checked the Developer List in Sage100 2023 and I don't see them listed.
They indicated Sage was a challenge in which to work. I don't think they are anywhere near having a solution.
My understanding is there was a developer prior Business Solutions as well.

We were the MD on the link for a few years. But they never approved the upgrades. They hired new staff that was very difficult to work with. Sounds like they got DSTax to take it over.

Questions for DSTax:
1. Are you developing code in-house? If so, are you a Sage Master Developer? What's your 3d number? How many ProvideX programmers and support staff?
2. Are you subcontracting code? If so, to whom?
3. Are you starting from scratch, or inheriting the code from the prior MD.
4. What is migration plan from old to new version?
5. When can client test a release?
6. Is the connector included in Vertex subscription?
7. Will new connector be compatible with other MD mods? How will they test?
And so on and so on …

BTW, just for 100% clarity:
My understanding from Avatax is they have 2 or 3 companies getting quotes because of their belief Vertex integration was discontinuing.
This is more than a belief and through 90 Minds (this thread) and Vertex - there is no Vertex integration for Sage 100 for v2023+. Anyone seeking to use Vertex either has to write their own ( another 90 Minds thread mentions that Vertex was sending out some type of agreement for people asking about doing their own integration ) or take a leap of faith that a third-party will deliver a working integration.

What a ride to find out information!!! I just got off a call with Scott Billadeau at DSTax. They are developing an integration for Sage 100 2023 that have a goal of being ready in July for Vertex. Steve Kopech with Vertex was also in this call. My understanding from Avatax is they have 2 or 3 companies getting quotes because of their belief Vertex integration was discontinuing. Communications with Vertex for the last several months have not helped to provide confidence (prior to this meeting).

Has anyone heard rumors that Vertex will not be supporting the Sage 100 sale tax integration after this year? Getting conflicting information.
