Case Study: Bauerle and Company achieves up to 10X faster tax processing and 94% lower file latency with SanDisk Fusion ioMemory PCIe cards

Bauerle And Company Ease The Tax Time Burden With Fusion Iomemory

Bauerle and Company, P.C. is a Denver-based accounting firm that ran Thomson Reuters UltraTax CS to handle complex tax returns. The flat-file database design generated massive read/write activity during peak tax season, causing extreme delays—printing could take ~30 minutes and some e-file transmissions took up to two hours—hampering staff productivity and client service.

The IT team tested and deployed a Fusion ioMemory 410GB PCIe card in a Dell PowerEdge R710 (using Hyper‑V with the VHD on the ioMemory card), eliminating the I/O bottleneck. Results included a 10x faster print job (30 min → 3 min), roughly 7x faster e-filing (90 min → 12 min in one case), 85% improvement in file preview latency (23.2 → 3.6 minutes), and 94% improvement in file-open latency (218s → 14s), significantly speeding workflows and easing tax‑season pressure.
