History
 |
As paper documents swamped corporate America
in the 1980s, the notion that these paper documents could be managed
as electronic images or files took hold. Capturing document images
and subsequently managing those files with specialized software and
systems has blossomed into a variety of disciplines collectively
thought of as document management or electronic content management.
During those early days, Philip Hodge, then a CIO and a CPA,
recognized the opportunity presented by this nascent technology and
a vision took shape. He realized that one size could not really fit
all, especially when it applied to handling business critical
financial documents like sales tax exemption certificates. |
Phil conceived and developed imaging software that specifically
helped businesses manage their sales tax exemption certificates
including their existing paper files and regain control of their
tax audit strategy. Headquartered in Hudson, Ohio, and
established as an S Corporation in 1994, OfficeMax became its
first major client and ISSI was born.
As the business of taxation grew more complex and invasive while
regulatory compliance, like Sarbanes-Oxley, grew more
burdensome, ISSI expanded its offerings as it prospered. With an
array of software products and services, ISSI has grown beyond
its retail and distribution roots and now serves the
manufacturing, healthcare, legal, insurance, and real estate
markets. |
|
The flagship TEAMS product has evolved
into a pair of web-enabled software solutions that let
corporations right size their approach towards sales tax
exemption certificate
and use tax exemption certificate acquisition, management and compliance
as well as for audit defense. TEAMS Express on Demand delivers a
highly scaleable Software as a Service (SaaS) solution across
the Internet that fits every budget based on customer usage.
TEAMS Express on Premise delivers the same functionality in a
traditional software licensed and self-hosted product. |

|
Product innovation continues 24x7 driven by the urgency
of change in regulatory compliance, such as Sarbanes-Oxley,
public accountancy and in the tax industry. The
patent-pending LineLink Suite for Microsoft Excel and Microsoft
Access represents the next wave of
document productivity that will give resource-strapped and
time-constrained companies much more control over business
critical activities such as sales tax and use tax audit defense,
reverse audits, due diligence reviews and voluntary disclosure
agreements. It also opens new business opportunities for
CPA as it drives cost-savings and productivity improvements for
all document-handling intensive task. LineLink helps firms
offer new value added services to their clientele.
LineLink delivers document organizing and linking services
down to the individual desktop level thereby giving even the
smallest company functionality that they could not otherwise
afford. |
 |
Of course, ISSI professional services
evolved in parallel as a cohesive framework through which a
business could truly realize their tax strategy and achieve
their business and financial goals.
Today, ISSI manages almost 600 million documents for clientele
across the United States who have come to depend on the
experience, professionalism and quality that only Imaging
Science and Services can provide.
