Managed Business Solutions, a global information technology outsourcing and consulting firm and a certified diversity supplier, has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract by the State of Wyoming Department of Revenue.

The State of Wyoming Department of Revenue's Excise Tax Division (ETD) collects excise taxes nationwide and distributes them to state and local governmental entities. The Division currently uses a custom Excise Tax System (ETS) to track several different excise taxes imposed under Wyoming law.

MBS will develop an improved and more efficient Excise Tax System for the State of Wyoming Department of Revenue. Leveraging the latest in Microsoft software development platforms and technology, the new system will provide the state with greater flexibility and enhanced capabilities in collecting excise revenues and expanding taxing jurisdictions, while streamlining operation of the system so it is easier to use via a composite user interface.

The new system also will expand the Department of Revenue's web presence and align it more with the needs of taxpayers and external parties by installing an expanded ‘self-service' environment for its constituency. Lastly, because the State of Wyoming is a member of the nationwide Streamlined Sales Tax Project (SSTP) the new system developed by MBS will fully integrate the electronic data submitted under the auspices of the SSTP program.

"The State of Wyoming Department of Revenue is looking forward to working with MBS to improve our overall delivery of services utilizing the new Excise Tax System," said Bruce Knutson, Information Technology Manager for the Department of Revenue. "MBS's approach and methodology demonstrate the company's willingness and ability to implement a true solution to our business and address the current and future needs of the Excise Tax Division."

 

"The Department of Revenue's Excise Tax Division has an enormous responsibility to its citizens," said Dan Sutton, MBS Vice President for Consulting & Integration. "We are honored and excited to have been entrusted by the Department of Revenue to implement such a critical system for the State of Wyoming."
