Thomson Plans Mobile Client App

Scott FleszarThomson Reuters is planning an as-yet-unnamed mobile application that would enable firms to interact both with client business and with those organizations' employees. The new capability follows the push by the company's Tax & Accounting business into the mobile market with an application to links to its Practice CS database.

The app is likely to hit the market before year's end, with Thomson also planning an app that will bring its long-running ARNE service to the mobile world, according to Scott Fleszar, VP of strategic marketing for the Thomson unit that handles the CS Professional suite.

The pending app "will be a way for a firm to push out things like tax return status updates," says Fleszar. They would also be able to pay the firm and clients could submit receipts by taking a picture of receipts. Functionality that could be provided to client employees, including access to payroll, direct deposit and personnel records.

ARNE, the Accountants Resource Network, was stems originally from a CompuServe bulletin board. Over the year, however, Thomson has starting referring to it as a community and it was been web-based for several years.
