United States Patent 7693760 Issued April 6, 2010
Inventors: Alex Fiteni, Paulo V. Back, Isaac J. William, Harshavardhan Takle, Desh Deepak, Roberto M. Vono
Silva
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that implements a tax service that is configurable
for local jurisdictions by an expert in the field, such as a tax professional, who may have little or no
knowledge of computer programming. The system operates by receiving a request from a subscriber, wherein
servicing the request involves calculating taxes for one or more local jurisdictions. Tax rules for a local
jurisdiction can be fed into a tax rule base that is used by a tax engine that is configured to use these
externally specified rules in performing tax computations. Next, the system uses the tax engine to calculate
taxes for each local jurisdiction, and subsequently uses the results of the calculations in servicing the request.
Determining taxes by applying tax rules specified using configurable templates
United States Patent 7647258 Issued January 12, 2010
Inventors: Alex Fiteni, Isaac J. William, Harshavardhan Takle, Paulo Back
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that is designed in a manner that processes used
for determining or administering taxes for a transaction apply tax rules that are specified (by a tax user) using
configurable templates. During operation, the system receives a transaction for which taxes are to be
determined during which a process may require the application of rules. The system then examines a
configurable template associated with a tax rule, wherein the configurable template identifies a set of
attributes associated with the transaction. The system also examines a condition group for the set of attributes.
If each condition of the condition group is satisfied, the system, by way of completing the said process, uses
the process result that is associated with the condition group for the process.

3 people have recommended Alex
"I had the pleasure of working with Alex over a 2 year period on an Oracle Applications implementaion for
an international non-profit based in Boston, MA. His extensive understanding of Oracle Applications
internals and functional capabilities proved invaluable in designing the appropriate selection of Oracle
products and their configuraiton. He also possesses an uncanny ability for working with the customer and is
extremely effective at understanding their business requirements and designing appropriate solutions."
Frederick DeAngelis, Managing Partner, ORAdba LLC, was with another company when working with
Alex at Fiteni International, LLC
"Over the eight years that we worked together, Alex came up with innovative ideas to solve problems. As a
manager he would encourage and appreciate novel and out-of-the ordinary ideas from others, particularly his
team. His inclination always was not to simply "fix" the immediate problem, but to look for a solution that
would gel with the long term vision or strategy."
Isaac William, Sr. S/W Dev. Architect, Oracle Corporation, reported to Alex at Oracle Corporation
"I worked with Alex for many years and confirm his commitment to the Company's goals and his skill
managing virtual teams around the world. I strongly recommend Alex as a Mgr as he achieved great results
directing Sr Tech Mgrs and teams to improve tax and regulatory compliance for Latin America and Asia,
both in SW Dev and support. Alex has also excellent communication skills and customer focus."
Aniz Buissa Jr, reported to Alex at Oracle Corporation
