"The Computerworld Honors Program" gave a recognition to a technological project in which the Costa Rican company Grupo Asesor en Informatica was involved.

It is an IT system developed for the Ministry of Finance of Costa Rica, called "New Models of Digital Integrated Tax and Revenue Management", which stood out in the category of using technology to benefit society.

"The system developed and implemented is an integrated model of digital tax and revenue management and one of its main objectives is to make a greater and better fiscal control and thus reduce tax evasion", explained Dixiana Loaiza Jimenez, head of the Trade Area in Grupo Asesor en Informatica.

The Ministry of Finance of Costa Rica contracted Grupo Asesor en Informatica to support the internal project team on the business process modeling, requests for proposal, elaboration and evaluation, feasibility studies and project management.

Grupo Asesor en Informatica was involved in the process of developing the project since 2006.

"The Computerworld Honors Program” belongs to the Computerworld Information Technology Awards Foundation and provides recognition to organizations that make outstanding use of information and communication technologies (ICT).

Leading-edge IT system

The report points out that the "New Integrated Models of Digital Tax and Revenue Management” is a leading-edge project for taxes and revenue management.

This project was classified as one of the first regional initiatives in Latin America that uses information technology systems and off-the-shelf software to help in the process of paying taxes at a country level.

The report also remarks that this technological project “sets a new global precedent”, because “it makes Costa Rica one of the first countries in the World to successfully lauch the latest version of SAP Tax and Revenue Management Packaged from the SAP for Public Sector solution portfolio”.

“The scope of the solution is very comprehensive and includes transactional processing, business intelligence, data mining and digital signature”, says the case study prepared by The Computerworld Honors Program.

This foundation also indicates that the implementation of the new taxes and revenue system and its user-friendly portal enables the Costa Rican Government “to deliver a highly modern financial administration system, capable of helping the country achieve advanced stages of development”.
