Expert Statements
Bala Chandran, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Vertex
“Tax professionals have carried the burden of the work around the tax decision — researching, reconciling, documenting, and defending”
Bala Chandran, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Vertex
“Vertex Sōl changes that. It begins at the decision inside the transaction and carries it forward on one record. It is led by AI that can be governed, explained, and defended, so tax professionals can command the outcome instead of the manual work around it.”
Christopher Young, CEO of Vertex
“Trust has always been fundamental to tax and compliance, and AI raises the stakes”
Christopher Young, CEO of Vertex
“Tax teams need to be able to see what’s happening, understand what matters, and stay in control. Vertex Sōl combines that visibility with the tax content, intelligence, and expertise our customers have relied on for decades, so they can put AI to work with confidence.”
Kevin Permenter, Senior Director, Enterprise Applications Research at IDC
“As AI agents take on more tax and compliance work, enterprises will judge vendors less on how many agents they offer and more on whether each action can be governed, explained, and traced back to the original decision”
Kevin Permenter, Senior Director, Enterprise Applications Research at IDC
“That kind of traceability is fast becoming a baseline expectation for AI in regulated finance functions.”
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vertex, Inc. (NASDAQ:VERX) ("Vertex" or the "Company"), the Decision-to-Defense™ global indirect tax and compliance company, today introduced Vertex Sōl™, a connected compliance experience that brings intelligence, workflows, decisions, and evidence together across the tax lifecycle.
