TomorrowNow Delivers Tax and Regulatory Updates Early For J.D. Edwards and PeopleSoft Applications

Timely Release and Custom-Tailored Updates Speed Implementation and Testing During End-of-Year Reporting Periods

BRYAN, Texas -- TomorrowNow Inc., the most-experienced provider of third-party maintenance and support for enterprise software applications, today announced it has delivered tax and regulatory updates for its J.D. Edwards and PeopleSoft clients. TomorrowNow's customer-focused programs are specifically tailored to each client's business-application environment to reduce the extra costs and lengthy installation time usually required by vendor-supplied tax and regulatory updates.

For 2006, TomorrowNow has delivered more than 350 tax and regulatory updates to its J.D. Edwards and PeopleSoft clients. By providing the custom updates at this time of the year, TomorrowNow speeds up the implementation and testing cycles for its clients and allows them more preparation time for their end-of-year reporting cycles.

TomorrowNow's update process is designed to be a vast improvement on the standard business-application vendor practice where all licensees are sent a large bundle combining product fixes with tax and regulatory updates. Each customer must apply and test the entire bundle, even if only a small percentage of it is relevant. For example, vendor-supported update bundles combine hundreds of separate objects, in addition to the tax and regulatory updates. This massive bundle can complicate the installation process for many clients and often requires a time-consuming re-calibration of customizations.

"End-of-year reporting causes a great deal of stress for many HR, payroll and IT professionals as they are forced to wait around for their business application vendor to deliver a bundle of tax and regulatory updates that typically arrive late in December. The additional time required for the implementation and testing process causes delays and creates problems at an extremely critical time of the year," said Shelley Nelson, vice president of global PeopleSoft support for TomorrowNow. "TomorrowNow takes the delays and the stress out of this annual process for its clients by sending them only the specific regulatory updates they need. Because TomorrowNow is intimately familiar with each client's specific application environment, we make the update process relatively stress-free."

TomorrowNow has delivered more than 800 custom regulatory and tax updates to its J.D. Edwards and PeopleSoft clients in the last two years. The updates are crucial for J.D. Edwards applications users who need W-2 and 1099 regulatory changes as soon as possible in order to complete reporting on the 2006 tax year by the end of January 2007, as well as for PeopleSoft application users who need quarterly updates for their specific geographies.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of SAP, TomorrowNow is the most trusted and financially viable third-party support provider. TomorrowNow has delivered more than 1,000 fixes for clients around the world in addition to the over 800 tax updates. The company also promises responses to customer queries within 30 minutes, but its actual average response time has been about eight minutes. TomorrowNow is staffed by veteran software engineers with an average of nine years of experience working on Siebel, J.D. Edwards and PeopleSoft applications.
