The Cutting Edge Of Tax
This Forrester Consulting paper, commissioned by Vertex in July 2022, explores the deployment of tax software using edge computing and containerization. It reveals that 87% of IT decision-makers are reconsidering their tax software deployment methods, with a significant interest in edge solutions for enhanced performance, scalability, and security. Despite the current reliance on cloud and on-premises solutions, challenges such as internet dependency and lack of agility prompt a move towards containerized edge computing. This approach promises better control, reliability, and reduced bandwidth needs, addressing the downsides of traditional deployments.
