Oregon Department of Revenue selected iCapture™ for its Document

Management & Imaging System

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--October 01, 2004

The Oregon Department of Revenue has selected iCapture following a competitive procurement process and detailed evaluation of the automated data capture solutions available in today’s marketplace. The Department, facing severe financial constraints, had determined that its existing DOS based data entry system had to be replaced with a system that was highly reliable, based on the latest available technology and one which could easily be enhanced and expanded as additional funding became available. Impression Technology demonstrated and proposed an iCapture solution that would allow the Department to continue its Key-From-Paper operations, while being easily enhanced to incorporate both imaging and automated recognition in the future, and Impression was awarded this contract in October, 2004.

The solution will allow the Department to significantly improve its data entry operations on the multiple types of tax forms received daily. The Department is responsible for the processing and collection of many types of taxes including Corporate, Individual, Timber, Estate and approximately 20 other State revenue generating programs. One of the most significant tasks associated with this project is the coding of the logic and thousands of business rules that are in the existing system. The Detailed Design that was jointly performed by Impression and DOR team members identified over 1000 pages of rules/logic that had been implemented in the existing data capture software, and a DOR requirement was that the new solution must mirror this portion of the functionality of current operations. Once implemented, the new iCapture system will include all required logic and rules within the Post Processing application within iCapture to ensure the perfection of data entry prior to the export of files to the Departments AS-400 based Tax System.

This project includes the preparation and approval of a Requirements Definition, a Detailed Design, Training Plan and Acceptance Test Plan in addition to the professional services associated with customization, installation, integration, training and testing. Impression Technology will also provide an on-site engineer following Acceptance to ensure the smooth transition of data entry operations to the new environment as well as on-going maintenance and support of the complete solution.

Factory Acceptance Testing of the new system is scheduled for July, 2005, followed by installation, training and testing at DOR facilities in Salem, Oregon. This is the second installation of iCapture within an Oregon State Department as the Oregon Employment Department has been operating the full suite of iCapture automated data capture software since late 2003.
