Discover the Benefits, Features, and Highlights:
Flexible Hybrid Cloud Solutions for Seamless Business Operations
With edge technology, Vertex has created a hybrid cloud that can take your engine anywhere for any business reason—redundancy, additional security, fail-over, speed, data security, POS, or regional support. Ensure compliant transaction processing wherever it makes sense. Our edge technology ensures deployment flexibility, whether using public cloud, private cloud, or on-premise deployment architectures. With Vertex O Series Edge, there are no restrictions—deploy on AWS, OCI, Azure, and more!
Availability
Deploying the tax engine using edge technology eliminates network connectivity and bandwidth issues in local store settings. Leverage the latest edge computing technology to calculate tax at a local point but managed centrally for rapid deployment, high availability, improved performance, and a streamlined tax technology landscape.
Centralized Control
With an edge deployment, tax is calculated locally with minimal friction. Data and telemetry are streamed to a main hub intelligently to centralize reporting, compliance, and maintenance. You’ll eliminate the cumbersome and resource-heavy maintenance of a wide network of local endpoints.
Performance
Eliminate most (if not all) network latency in processing a transaction. Edge containers provide consistent, reliable performance since they can calculate without an internet connection.
Data Security
Transactions are processed and tax is calculated behind the company firewall, minimizing traffic outside your network. PII never needs to leave the local network.
Efficiency
Customize individual containers for each specific line of business, region, or any other way you organize your operations. Deploy only the tax content needed for that location.
E-commerce Performance
Creating high-performance and highly scalable checkout for e-commerce operations ensures your site keeps taking orders even during the highest traffic times.
