New monikers for familiar products.
With shifting company ownership, a host of well-known tax programs are going through name changes and re-branding. It’s hard to keep up. Fortunately, you don’t need to. The new Accounting Technology keeps track:
GoSystem ES. In April, Thomson Reuters changed the name of GoSystem RS, the product for which the initials stood for remote system. The new ES represents enterprise suite, a concept the company introduced that now incorporates applications called Engagement ES, Practice ES and GoFileRoom ES.
IntelliTax. For several years, Intellitax was the name of the Windows product line for Orrtax Software Solutions. Since May, it has also been the name of the company.
Red Gear Technologies. The company still calls its product line TaxWorks. But since the acquisition by the organization of that name by H&R Block early into 2007, the name Red Gear remains.
Thomson Reuters. The company had been Thomson Corp. until its acquisition of Reuters. The change further buried what had been known as Creative Solutions, which was then part of Thomson Tax and Accounting. The operation is now known by its product line, the CS Professional Suite, under what is now called the tax and accounting business of Thomson Reuters.
