Tax and revenue collection was a challenging undertaking even before the threat of cybercriminals or COVID-19.
So, it’s not hard to understand the frustration of state and local revenue officials who also have to navigate the complications of piecemeal software for tax processing that doesn’t quite live up to the promise of digital transformation.
Transformation is a big promise, after all. And too many vendors throw the concept around to describe what is, at best, the automation of one part of a process with little thought as to where it fits into the system as a whole. This type of “transformation” often results in impressive bursts of automation interrupted by tedious stretches of manual data entry and other outdated, labor-intensive chores.
It can sometimes lead to even more tax processing headaches, despite its purpose of eliminating them. Best case scenario, it replaces a small fraction of your manual tasks. We’ve seen revenue departments with software that streamlines the processing of online payments from taxpayers but still requires a trip to the bank to deposit bags of physical checks. Contrary to what you may have been told in the past, that’s not automation—and it’s certainly not true digital transformation.

Can Your Tax and Revenue Processing Software Do This?
If you’re still spending a lot of time entering data by hand or struggling to make one part of your system work with the next, consider what your department could do with a system that provides benefits like these:
- Ability to extract, scan, configure and organize both structured and unstructured data from checks or other documents
- Reliable system of fraud detection that can mitigate ongoing risk
- Native integration with other processing software like Check21 and GenTax
- Integration with your existing equipment, including scanners and multi-function devices, IBML, OPEX, etc.
- Real-time dashboards, analytics and advanced reporting that provide full transparency
- Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for repetitive manual tasks so you can focus on more valuable functions
That’s just a small sample of what the right platform can deliver, but our whitepaper provides more insight so you can make the best software choice possible. Of course, the right partner standing behind your software is just as important.
