Ease of integration, intelligent control over legal compliance, and global tax expertise drive GE to extend use of Sabrix across multi-national operations

San Ramon, CA September 17, 2007 —Sabrix, Inc. the leading provider of Consolidated Transaction Tax Management solutions, today announced that General Electric Company (NYSE: GE) has successfully implemented the Sabrix Application Suite for sales, use, and value-added tax management in seven businesses that span over 50 countries. Over the past five years, GE has successfully deployed Sabrix in three of its major business units, including GE Infrastructure, GE Industrial, and GE Commercial Finance. In addition, Sabrix is deployed on the GE Corporate Shared Sourcing Services instance of Oracle™. Most recently, GE has extended its use of Sabrix into GE Energy Parts, solidifying Sabrix as the company’s preferred solution for complex, global transaction tax management and compliance.

Through Sabrix’s centralized transaction tax management solution, GE’s multi-national operations consistently determine, calculate, and record tax to meet compliance regulations worldwide. GE selected Sabrix because they required a single platform that could easily integrate to multiple instances of Oracle™, SAP™, and legacy financial applications. They also needed a solution that could support millions of global transactions processed daily.

“As a multi-national company, GE is committed to adhering to tax laws and regulations globally, said Tom Andrews, Manager – Tax Technology for GE. Sabrix has simplified these processes to ensure consistent controls and provides the scalability to support the large volume of transactions processed across the different GE business units.”

“The ultimate responsibility of the tax department is to ensure compliance for GE Energy’s global operations,” said Peter Everett, Tax Manager, Global VAT for GE Energy. “With Sabrix, we achieve intelligent controllership — tax rates and rules are up-to-date across our multi-national operations. We accurately report tax and demonstrate compliance in accordance with country law. For example, if we were to issue an invoice in a country in which our legal entity isn’t registered, we are confident that Sabrix will automatically flag this invoice enabling the business finance and tax teams to intervene and maintain compliance.”

“The Sabrix solution is one more successful piece in implementing rules engines to standardize business processes to deliver a consistent tax strategy for GE Infrastructure businesses. Tools like Sabrix allow our subject matter experts to focus on strategy and planning instead of focusing on daily transactional issues,” said Janet Hudnall, Tax Manager, Business Process Management for GE Infrastructure.

Today, six of the 16 largest companies in America’s Fortune 500, and six of the 11 largest companies in the Global Fortune 500 rely on Sabrix to manage their global transaction taxes. Using Sabrix’s Consolidated Transaction Tax Management solution, large, complex companies like GE, benefit from having a single transaction tax solution and a single compliance and audit database to enable them to accurately control and simplify tax compliance.
