By Stephane, Amaris Consultant

At the time when new technologies are playing an increasingly important role in our daily work, impossible for a state-owned organization to waste time in different steps of its process. Stéphane, Amaris consultant, will explain his project which aim is create and develop a Java/ Swing application to improve tax management.

 

• In a few words, can you describe your project?

I’m currently working as Business Analyst in a state-owned company (IT department of the Tax administration). I’m in charge of a project which objective is to manage the succession regarding a fiscal aspect (from the notification shipment to the death tax collecting).

• What are the context and the issues?

Since a decade, the Tax administration works on a complete overhaul of tax system. This project is one of the last impost to deal with in this program. 

• What are your role and the contribution of Amaris in that project?

As Business Analyst, my task consists of capturing the needs of the final user (for example, inheritance tax controller or collector), understanding and describing their jobs (via MEGA tools) and then integrating their restriction in the fiscal problematic.

Consequently, we organize different meetings with all services influenced by this project. The objectives of meetings are to propose some specific and practical solutions as screen model or simulation of different using cases (with Rational Rose tool).

• What do you get of that experience?

Since few months, I’m discovering the taxation business, including the specificities of different levels (federal, regional and cantonal), numerous law texts that projects must respect and different kind of taxes – from the most classics such as the withholding tax or the real state to the most surprising as the dog taxes – which makes this task interesting and exciting.
