BLS Replacement System Advances in 2014

Partners,

Great news. The Department of Revenue is taking its next major step toward launching a complete tax and license system replacement.

The Request for Proposal was posted on February 7. Responses are due in May, which will be followed by system demonstrations in the summer. After careful review and negotiation, Revenue will award the contract to a technology company by the end of the year.

Replacing the current system will stabilize operations, reduce maintenance and risks, and add efficiencies. Agency and city partners will benefit directly as licensing and regulatory enhancements can be more easily customized.

We will keep you updated throughout the year as major steps are completed.
