  4. Paradigm shift in delivery model. AvaTax ST is a service, NOT software. - Install once, and never worry again. - NO updates or maintenance required. Fraction of the cost of traditional software options. • The real competitor is: • Status quo, manual system. • Resistance to changing internal processes. • - Perception of large cost/resources for implementation.  • A new solution for an old problem, much like how businesses use ADP and banks for payroll tax. Not direct competitors since they do not focus on ACCPAC. Cost prohibitive for ACCPAC users. However, every business has some level of sales tax issue. Marketspace
