Minnetonka, Minnesota (PRWEB) November 21, 2016 -- The Minnesota High Tech Association (MHTA) announced this week that Sovos Compliance is this year’s Tekne Award winner for innovation in the Established Software Companies category. The award recognized the Minnetonka-based company, which safeguards businesses from the burden and risk of tax and compliance, for its innovative solution to the challenges businesses face with Affordable Care Act compliance reporting. Past Tekne Award recipients include technology industry leaders such as 3M, Boston Scientific, Delta Air, Ecolab, Honeywell, and Medtronic.
“We’re honored to be among such an elite list of Minnesota technology companies,” said Sovos CEO Andy Hovancik. “Like so many other regulatory mandates, ACA caught businesses off guard, and HR professionals were unprepared to deal with the burden. Our business-to-government reporting software is built for exactly that -- and our team was able to deliver a solution exactly when it was needed most.”
Building on its long history of success in tax information reporting, which includes being the world’s largest private filer of 1099 forms, Sovos delivered ACA automation in time to service nearly 20 million households and over 1,000 companies, including, ArcBest Corporation, Deseret Mutual, Goodman, Hawaii Medical Service Association and TriHealth.
“Like so many of the tax information reporting challenges our clients face, ACA emerged quickly and will continue to change and evolve quickly,” said Troy Thibodeau, Chief Product Officer for Sovos. “We’re happy that MHTA recognized how valuable it is to solve these ever-changing regulatory problems. And, we’re excited to see our solutions expanding to solve new and complex business problems.”
“Minnesota continues to be a national leader in technology and science, and this year’s Tekne Award recipients are clear evidence of that,” said Margaret Anderson Kelliher, president and CEO of MHTA. “We are honored to recognize Sovos Compliance for their innovations and achievements.”
