LEHI, Utah — August 23, 2021 — Verisk (Nasdaq:VRSK), a leading global provider of predictive analytics and decision-support solutions, and Avalara (NYSE: AVLR), a leading provider of tax compliance automation for businesses of all sizes, today announced an integration that can significantly streamline tax compliance workflows for property preservation specialists.
