The Finnish Tax Administration (VERO) is happy to welcome you to a Workshop on Implementing a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Taxation System. VERO ran a major operations and application renewal programme during the years 2013-2019. The programme developed taxation processes and replaced over 70 legacy applications with a COTS tax software solution.

Due to the recent interest in our experiences, we have decided to organise a workshop on our COTS implementation on 13-14 September with a one-day plenary meeting on Wednesday and a possibility to have one-on-one discussions with VERO’s experts and directors who have been involved in the implementation on Thursday.

Content of the workshop

The agenda for Day 1 includes the major elements of an IT renewal:

  • reasons for the need of an IT renewal;
  • procurements process;
  • strategic management of the programme;
  • how to prepare business and business processes to the renewal;
  • project management;
  • change management;
  • data cleansing and migration and;
  • long term relationship with the vender and lessons learned.

On Day 2 the participants are offered a possibility to book one-on-one meetings with VERO's experts and directors in order to discuss their specific needs and questions related to COTS process. This means that you will have an opportunity to have a private and confidential discussion on those issues, concerns or doubts you may have. You can make reservations for one or more one-on-one discussions on the registration form.
