The cloud is an ideal environment for deploying a retail tax technology solution. It provides a centralized hub that’s accessible from anywhere in the world, enabling a retailer to use one platform for both online and in-person transactions.
Changes to local tax policy can be propagated from the cloud to relevant devices and servers where transaction processing happens. In this way, all locations—online and physical—work from the most current tax rules and rates. Retailers can accommodate sudden traffic spikes with ease thanks to the cloud’s essentially limitless scalability, eliminating the bottlenecks that might ordinarily arise on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, for example. Deploying in the cloud also removes the need to buy, install and maintain physical infrastructure to support the tax system.
