The Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters has scrapped the traditional customer satisfaction survey for a program to engage directly with customers and solve specific problems they are experiencing.

Customer Reviews

See what customers are saying about the latest evolution of Checkpoint:

"It was easy to research items from multiple books." Dom V., Partner, Wilder & Co.

"The enhancements are evolutionary, thus minimizing the learning curve. The ability to add notes to a document, and to flag a document, are what I like the most and should provide the most value. Adding notes to a document will lessen the time researching when accessing that document again, and it should help you to document your research quickly while reading the document. Flagging a document should be very handy to mark documents you'd like to read later, but don't have time to currently do so." Terry F., Director of Corporate Taxes, Kimball International, Inc.

"The enhanced (Checkpoint) site provides more intuitive and user-friendly navigation. The new icons, placement of tasks, and color-scheme add to the overall utilization." Carol R., Compliance Officer, Group Associates, Inc.

"The tweaks are not so dramatic as to require a refresher course. I found that spending a few minutes each time I accessed the site to check out the improvements was enough to get me up to speed." Elaine K., Director of Information resources, Hiscock & Barclay, LLP

"The new Checkpoint enhancements are wonderful. They are subtle changes that improve my ability to customize the way I read, find and store my documents, but the changes do not change the fundamental searching function that I have become used to." Jennifer R., Attorney, Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott LLC
