(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Tax & Accounting business moves into government sector with latest software
acquisition
NEW YORK, June 2, 2011- Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of
intelligent information for businesses and professionals, has signed a
definitive agreement to acquire Manatron, a provider of property tax automation
and land registry software for governments and municipalities around the world,
from Thoma Bravo LLC, a private equity firm. The completion of the acquisition
is subject to standard regulatory approvals. The terms of the transaction were
not disclosed.
Manatron will strengthen the expanding Tax & Accounting business with an
additional 1,400 clients in over 20 countries and more than 40 U.S. states.
Manatron's flagship solution, Government Revenue Management (GRM), is an
integrated suite of web-based property recording, assessment and tax software
that automates the operational, informational, and planning needs for assessors,
auditors, treasurers, tax collectors and other government officials. Manatron's
software solutions are being used by governments to replace antiquated systems
to help improve customer service, streamline processes and manage the growing
velocity of legislative changes.
"The government tax automation space is a growing segment and a natural fit with
our strategy to improve workflow efficiency for our clients through innovative
technology," said Brian Peccarelli, president of the Tax & Accounting business
of Thomson Reuters. "Manatron has a great track record helping governments
improve their collection and compliance processes, which improves accuracy,
customer service and reduces costs associated with the collection process for
all involved."
In addition to its market-leading property tax offerings, Manatron is also
considered a leader in the provision of land administration systems - helping
governments and the private sector map, audit, register and publicize the value
of assets and land. As one of the only providers of end-to-end government
property tax management and land administration systems, Manatron processes more
than $100 billion in annual tax revenue.
"Becoming part of Thomson Reuters extends Manatron's global reach, but our
mission remains the same - to deliver a solution that allows our clients to
efficiently process and manage their land, property tax and assessment
information," said Bill McKinzie, president and chief executive officer at
Manatron.
