Sales Tax Change Reminder

Mar 3

Posted by Joe Abler in General, Software Technology | No Comments

As you know, due to economic nexus legislation effective March 1, 2020, Software Technology, LLC will begin collecting and remitting sales tax in many states (when applicable).

We are integrating with a 3rd party product called Avalara to manage taxability.  When you request quotes or place an order, our system will automatically apply taxes, if applicable, based on location and which products are sold.

You should have already received an email from Jared Moscrip, our Controller & Director of Finance.  It contained instructions on filing and submitting a new exemption certificate.  Please contact Jared if you have questions.

We’ve performed numerous in-house billing and practice management conversions over the years. An online form was recently created to improve the speed of the conversion process. If you have prospects interested in converting to the current version of Tabs3 and PracticeMaster, let us know by simply completing the conversion estimate request using the link below.

Answers to these questions provide us with the basic level of information we need to give an estimate on what the conversion will cost.

Software Leasing

Jul 22

Posted by Scott Baird in Software Technology | No Comments

With the increase in Client Server Version (CSV) sales over the past year, we have seen an increase in the number of firms interested in working with a leasing company to finance the purchase of Tabs3 and PracticeMaster licenses.  It can be a great way for firms to make a needed investment in technology without the upfront capital investment.  We think that most leasing companies today understand that almost all software, including Tabs3 and PracticeMaster, is licensed for use and not sold.  However, some leasing companies will not lease anything that they cannot get physical ownership of in case of default.  This would exclude software from being leased through these companies.  It would be prudent of you to remind your customers to make sure they discuss this point with the leasing company they are dealing with.

With that in mind, we have known the people from Baytree Leasing for over 10 years.  They have done numerous software and hardware leasing arrangements with law firms across the country including Tabs3 and PracticeMaster customers.  Baytree typically attends the major legal industry trade shows as well.  To learn more about their experience in the legal market, go to www.baytreeleasing.net/legalenduser.htm. This page contains their “Value Attributes” and other helpful information on Baytree Leasing for Law Firms.  Here is the link to Baytree’s Vendor Financing Program http://baytreeleasing.net/legalvendor.htm.

Software Technology, Inc. does NOT have any financial or contractual relationships with Baytree Leasing.  We have simply agreed to provide contact information in order to give you additional options when trying to close a sale.  Below is the contact information for Baytree Leasing:
