Long-Term Business Partners:
Payroll/HR providers measure the quality
of their business partner's software and support by the
feedback received from mutual customers.
BSI started its Business Partner Program
(BPP) in 1982. Our 95% partner retention rate over the years
is a strong endorsement of the quality and completeness
of BSI software and support services.
To help our business partners achieve
maximum success with our products, BSI offers unequaled
support every step of the way with:
- contract development
- API development
- marketing support
- sales support
- choice of a wide range of quality
products
Customer Focus:
BSI presently has more than 3,000 clients
in the United States, Canada and around the world using
one or more of our payroll compliance products. Among our
customers are firms that operate regionally as well as corporate
giants whose business activities cover all of North America.
In fact, many of the largest companies on the continent
are BSI clients. Our software has proven itself through
many years of use in all types of businesses including:
- service organizations
- hospitals
- software firms
- government entities and agencies
- educational institutions
- the armed forces of the United States
- and many more
This widespread use is your virtual
guarantee that our software and support services are of
the highest quality. The fact that many service bureaus
and software firms marketing payroll solutions have licensed
our products for use by their customers, further underscores
the comprehensiveness and completeness of BSI compliance
products.
Unsurpassed Research:
Behind our exceptional support service
is a professional Research Department with a full-time staff
of accomplished professionals.They stay in constant communication
with all U.S. and Canadian taxing authorities. Our dedicated
researchers keep up with all legislative activity and analyze
newly enacted regulations in order to identify taxing authorities
that will change their taxing, reporting and payment requirements.
The expertise and focus that this group
of researchers provides add up to extra value for users
of the BSI products. After all, they have made our support
service the timeliest and most accurate in the industry
for as long as we’ve been in business.
Top Ranking Support:
BSI is setting the standard for payroll
compliance software support. Our company has delivered thousands
of regulatory changes updating its software over the course
over two decades. Our changes have been, by far, the timeliest
in the industry. We deal directly with each taxing authority
and deliver the changes as soon as we become aware of them.
Many of our customers had the regulatory
changes installed and ready to go before they saw them published
elsewhere. Our track record for accuracy is equally impressive
since the number of corrections issued to the total number
of changes provided is almost immeasurable.
Our timely and accurate support
has earned high marks from customers. It is one of the major
contributing factors that has allowed us to maintain more
than a 95% customer retention rate.
Matchless Features:
BSI leads the invention of many features
and capabilities. One of these features is the "Effective
Date" feature. This allows current, future and past-dated
tax formulas and other compliance information for the same
tax or regulation to be available in the database concurrently.This
feature has now become an industry standard.
BSI has also set the pace in providing compliance feature
content to customers. The company was first to offer complete
solutions for:
- Canadian taxes (1982)
- Local taxes (1984)
- Deferred income taxes (1986)
- Benefit plan taxation (1988)
- Gross-up (1990)
- U.S. possessions taxes (1991)
- Reciprocal taxes (1993)
- User Tools (1994)
- Wage compliance (1995)
- Technician Tools (1996)
- US Tax Reporting (1998)

Complete solutions for many of these
areas are available only from BSI. Furthermore, solutions
for some are offered exclusively by BSI.
Seamless Integration:
BSI leads the industry in the number
of compliance software engines offered as well as in integration
of those engines. All our compliance engines are fully integrated
and work together like the components of a fine watch. This
high level of integration provides many benefits including:
- superior performance
- reduced maintenance costs
- ease of use
- quick, seamless integration with
payroll
- single API
Client/Server and Browser-Based Products:
BSI remains in the forefront with Browser-Based
and Client/Server engineered software. Our Browser-Based
solution is written in Java, HTML and XML, and our Client/Server
solution is written entirely in C/C++ languages. Both use
an object-based repository-driven, n-tiered architecture
that provides maximum flexibility relative to servers, databases
and graphical user interface (GUI). Our fully integrated
compliance applications run across all platforms providing,
a single solution for UNIX, WINDOWS NT, WINDOWS 2000 and
the AS/400.
Our Browser-Based and Client/Server
products can be easily deployed within an organization's
existing infrastructure.
A standard web browser is all you need
to access the Browser-Based system from anywhere, eliminating
the need for Client software.
Innovative Products
It was BSI that pioneered the modern
tax calculation system. From the start, we used technology
for the benefit of our customers by applying it to the BSI
market-driven approach of developing compliance software
solutions. Our initial software, released in the late 1970s,
offered state-of-the-art technology for the time as well
as many ground-breaking application features and capabilities
including:
- no program changes for tax support
- facilities that make updating taxes
equally easy for payroll practitioners and data processors
- effective date processing
- history facilities that allow past
tax information to operate with the latest release of
the software
- building all the intelligence into
the tax information, not in the program code
- reducing the employer's and employee's
legal exposure
Eventually, some of our original
features were copied. Some became so widely used, that it
is virtually impossible to buy a payroll system without
them. Yet, after all this time, no other product has matched
all our original features and capabilities.
