Tax and Revenue Management: A government’s lifeblood
IT has provided the opportunities for governments to remodel the entire process of tax collection over the last decade. It is, however, a continuously evolving process and governments the world over need to constantly upgrade their tax systems to optimise their revenue workflows.
Unlocking Public Value
A recent SAP study confirmed that those organisations which adopt best practices in the areas of scope and adoption, process standardisation, technology and customer governance, do perform better, and do so as their best practice maturity increases.
Governments and Socialising

UK country revamps info-management system
The Welsh Assembly Government has unveiled a major software and services overhaul to replace traditional methods of information management.
After implementation, the Welsh Assembly Government will become one of the largest enterprise-wide deployments of Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS) in the UK public sector.
The project, which is expected to cost approximately £4.6 million (US$7.5 million), is set to be completed in five years and will be undertaken through a partnership between Objective and Siemens IT Solutions and Services.
It will be rolled out to 6,500 users at multiple sites across Wales.
Previously the Welsh Assembly Government relied on traditional methods of information management such as paper-based filing and basic IT systems. By replacing and modernising these with a new information management infrastructure the Welsh Assembly Government hopes to ensure that public information assets are controlled, safe and available when needed.
According to Dr. Tony Jewell, the Chief Medical Officer of the Welsh Assembly Government and the Senior Responsible Officer for the programme, the government’s commitment to being open and transparent means that legislative compliance will be a key driver for the project.
“The primary focus for us is to introduce a solution that will ensure we are wholly compliant with information management legislation both now, and in the future,” he said.
He claims that the project would allow the government to meet compliance requirements and at the same time enable improvements in the delivery of services to the citizens of Wales.
