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.

The PCN is a network that connects all government agencies in the Federal Government Administration Centre in Putrajaya. The new network will leverage high-end multi-service routing switches by 3Com Corporation.

Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology is used to virtually combine multiple switches so they function as a single logical switch, helping MAMPU achieve high network scalability and availability.

The new network will support high bandwidth integrated services including Multiple Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), IPv6, network security, network port virtualisation, and high availability virtual core switching. This will enable users to access shared Web services and collaborate more effectively.

After upgrading, MAMPU will be able to save on energy costs as the new equipment is designed with advanced silicon technology that uses up to 60 per cent less power than previous generation equipment.

MAMPU is also deploying 3Com’s H3C Intelligent Management Centre (IMC) network management software, a service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based solution that converges and correlates network information and logs from multiple systems.
