Davis + Henderson, a leading solutions provider to the financial services industry and, through its Filogix division a provider of credit solutions for the retail lending, small business, commercial lending, equipment finance, mortgage and real estate industries, announced today its alliance with Vertex Inc., an industry leader in corporate enterprise tax solutions. The result of this collaboration will be an interface that integrates Davis + Henderson's Cyence credit lifecycle management solution with Vertex(R) Lease Tax O Series(R).

"We are pleased to forge an alliance with Davis + Henderson to develop this solution" said Doug Cohen, Account Executive for Strategic Alliances, Vertex Inc. "Working with a leader like Davis + Henderson has afforded us the opportunity to establish a mutually beneficial relationship that will provide a solid solution for our current and future shared customers."

Integration of Davis + Henderson's Cyence solution for credit lifecycle management with the Vertex Lease Tax O Series is a big plus for Davis + Henderson's Equipment Finance clients, as it eliminates the manual research necessary to be tax compliant. Tax calculations are consistently accurate, saving the client's time, money and resources. Productivity will increase as a result and the audit process will become smooth and seamless.

"Having a long list of satisfied clients, taxation expertise and global aspirations, made Vertex the perfect fit for this initiative" said Greg McIntosh, Davis + Henderson's EVP, Credit Solutions. "We needed a partner that had a similar focus in terms of placing client satisfaction at the top of their priority list, expertise in not just taxation but in leasing as well, and the ability to grow with us. Vertex was the obvious choice."

Davis + Henderson's Filogix division is currently in the process of implementing this solution for Key Equipment Finance, one of the largest bank held equipment finance companies in the United States. Key Equipment Finance will be the first of many Filogix Equipment Finance clients to take advantage of the solution.
