October 19, 2001(PLANSPONSOR.com) -Ernst & Young and software provider Transcentive, have teamed up to develop an international tax processing solution - the first step towards the creation of a global solution to manage employee stock option programs.

As part of the agreement, Transcentive and Ernst & Young will deliver a series of global tax calculation modules for more than 30 countries for Transcentive Options (TO). TO is a multinational, Web-based equity compensation management solution being developed by Transcentive for release next year.
