Improve Efficiency and Effectiveness
Governments and taxpayers are demanding greater capabilities and more transparency from revenue systems technology. At the same time, governments are asking revenue authorities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations-to cut the cost of revenue collection and improve reporting practices-even with reduced funding. Revenue collection solutions need to provide a platform for future development that allows quick response to changing requirements.

Situation
Government revenue collection is often performed on archaic systems that fail to provide real-time, secure, two-way communications between taxpayers and revenue agencies. In the Internet age, taxpayers expect to locate their current tax status on an easily accessible Web site where questions can be asked and answered. Governments also expect that changes in tax laws and their administration happen quickly and efficiently in line with shifting fiscal priorities.
