ROSEMONT, Ill. – CCH and Intuit signaled their plans for broad Internet-product suites at the Midwest Accounting and Finance Showcase, suites that won’t quickly replace desktop-based software, but that represent the vendors’ development path over the next few years.

CCH delivered the most specific plans which include an October launch of SaaS-versions of ProSystem fx Tax, Document and Practice applications that will be tied together by a common database that will let them share information to eliminate the need to re-enter data, such as client contact information, into each application.
