Federal Liaison Services Adds Software Plus as Partner

FLS Web-based Payroll Tax Compliance Available with HR/Payroll Systems

DALLAS, TEXAS - 2/06/01 - Federal Liaison Services, Inc. (FLS) today announced that Software Plus, Inc., has become the newest member of the FLS CHAMPS™ (Channel and Marketing Partners) alliance program of leading technology vendors. A major provider of HR, payroll and financial management systems, Software Plus will offer its customers, mostly mid-size businesses, the FLS Employer's Direct Pay.COMpliance™ (eDP.COMpliance®) payroll tax compliance system, both separately and as part of its software, outsourcing, and ASP solutions.

FLS eDP.COMpliance® handles all federal, state and local payroll tax deposit calendars, cash management, electronic tax payments, and multiple reporting sites for employers. It is the only business-to-business application that uses the Web to exchange payroll tax compliance data electronically between business taxpayers and the Internal Revenue Service.

By automating payroll tax compliance using the Web, employers can minimize the risk of penalties, which can reach 10% or more of a payroll tax deposit. Automating time-intensive, repetitive tasks in payroll compliance helps companies reduce overhead and refocus payroll and tax personnel on more productive corporate goals.

"FLS eDP.COMpliance® is a complete solution for handling payroll taxes, and is a good fit with our HR/payroll systems for companies with 25 to 25,000 employees," said Tim Diassi, Vice President and General Manager for Software Plus. "As stand-alone software, in an ASP model or with Software Plus running outsourcing services, eDP.COMpliance will interface with our applications to offer a seamless payroll solution for employers of any size."

"Through our partnership with Software Plus, Web-based payroll tax compliance is now a reality for any employer, whether a multi-national corporation or a mom-and-pop retailer," said Fran Bartlett, founder and president of FLS. "Software Plus customers can be sure their payroll tax data is readily accessible and secure, every hour of every day, with all the control and simplicity employers want."

Other major FLS partners include PeopleSoft, SAP, Oracle, Best Software (Sage), Lawson Software, and Valutech.
