Thanks for sharing your feedback. You’re right that Sovos operates in a competitive market. Because of that, we work hard to articulate what makes us the best choice: the promises we make (and more importantly, keep) to customers & employees, the depth of our regulatory analysis team of 100+ experts, the innovation of our solutions, the comprehensiveness of our services, and the audacious goal we’ve set to Solve Tax for Good everywhere.
That’s all easy enough for me to say; luckily, unbiased third-parties continue to affirm this differentiation, whether that’s in the most recent IDC MarketScape report on our space, which named Sovos a leader; or the SIIA CODiE Award, which named Sovos Sales & Use Tax Filing the Best Compliance Solution in 2020; or in any number of technology, tax and business publications that cite our experts in their articles. I’m sorry to hear those competitive assets weren’t clear during your time with us.
In regards to the diversity of the team, we are proud of the varied life experiences our employees bring with them to their work here every day. That said, Sovos is on a purposeful journey to build an even more diverse, inclusive and equitable company. Over the past year, we have adjusted our recruiting processes, developed trainings for managers, brought in consultants to lead workshops with various teams, opened a search for an inclusion and equity leader, and assessed our people, products and practices through a DEI lens. Thank you for raising this important issue in your comments. While I don't agree with your comment, I agree there is plenty of work yet to be done, and we are committed to that journey. Best of luck in your next role.
